Now for something completely different... In Argentina, domain names are 
free if you register them directly in www.nic.ar, the Network 
Information Center (most 3rd parties offering domain registering, with 
or without webhosting, will charge; for example, free hosting services 
that charge if you want a domain (and fries?) with that).

Apparently there isn't much they can do if somebody already has the name 
registered. The recommendation in the FAQ is to basically contact the 
one who registered it :P Only if the contact information is outdated or 
fake they can do something, but it involves a fairly long bureaucratic mess.
