	Not really.  When you see something like this happen, I'd suggest 
that you set yourself up as primary for the zone, point various 
records within the zone to your own servers, including setting up a 
web server on which you record on the home page what it is that 
you've done and why.  You can then put as long a TTL on these records 
as you want -- multiple years even.

	People who register a nameserver as being authoritative without 
contacting the owner of that nameserver will then get what they 
deserve.
