you know, most domain disputes boil down to trademark violations, and ICANN has a set code (the dispute resoltion policy) for that. There are internally accredited courts (such as WIPO) which deal with domain disputes.
Simply put, most domain disputes already have precidents or at least a framework for resolvig them and, secondly, disputes arent resolved in real (or usual) criminal or civil courts.
So I don't think that the path is still "wide open", although precidents can always still be set, and most likely will (as in any other legal system).
