Hey can you guys come up with a better way to verify ownership of domains than waiting to hear from former owners?

I bought over 200 domains from various people during December and and am trying to point them to your hostedtube thingy, but it turns out 30 or so of them had already been pointed there by the previous owner.

Your aff rep seems to think that the whois records matching my affiliate details does not constitute proof of ownership, that he wants to hear form the previous owner of the domain.

I understand you wanting to protect your affiliates from false claims, but I don't control the former owner, I just control the domains that I own and while I have reached out to a couple of them and hope they do get ahold of you to reassure you that they own the domains I can't imagine it is a priority for them since the deal is long done.

It seems to me that being the administrative contact for these domains in whois should be proof.

Meanwhile all I can do is take the domains offline while it gets sorted.
