I understand letter of the law, spirit of the law and playing it safe to avoid headaches.
However, there are times where registering a real domain just isn't practical. For example, I'm not going to ask all of the students in my courses to go out and register a .com for the semester. It would be a waste of money as their systems never leave the local network, except through a NAT connection. So in those types of instances, I'm assuming .lan or .test are safest?
