That was the original intention back in the 80s when the TLD structure was first planned and implemented, but there are no registration restrictions on .org domains--anyone can register a .org domain. However, there are restrictions on .edu and .gov domains, as well as many country-based TLDs.

At one point, I think .org domains may have been cheaper than .com

I was considering pinsound sound boards for a couple of my favorite games before this situation was first reported, but then decided against giving them my business.

It's one thing to bring back a product idea that was discontinued, no longer available, and that the original developer has no interest in producing anymore (which is not the case here). It's something else to make a knock off of an active product without the original developer's blessing.

I like Rob. He's a good guy. I've enjoyed chatting with him at shows. Treating a fellow pinhead in this way--especially one of the good eggs in the hobby--doesn't sit well with me.

I would recommend that you open a tech thread if you need help troubleshooting the issue. I doubt they will help troubleshoot. The most they might do is offer to refund or replace the product.

I always keep one in my toolkit as a quick fix.

And I think it's better to support the original product & creator, rather than the (inferior?) rip-off.
