To me this looks a bit like an attempt to make money. But even if there
was really someone registering digikam.cn etc I wouldn't care about it.

I don't know about this, but "kunal" could be right.

This could done, but I think digikam.org is enough. Just today I once
again saw someone accessing wikipedia by entering the word into a
Google search field... the ranking in search engines is much more
important than having many domains. The way "putty" is doing it,
having no proper domain at all, is just a little too extreme on the
other end, I'd say. Anyway it's too late for digikam.com, which already
is a link farm. :(
