My primary goal for OpenDomain is to raise awareness.
Giving $$$ to squatters does, in effect pay off the bad guys, but there really is no alternative. The professional scammers are very sophisticated in avoiding disputes.
Please note that some domains are not actually 'squatted' - people that own a domain BEFORE a project becomes popular and you are out of luck, which is exactly what happened with some of the most popular domains (Facebook.com and others)
