Whatever you do, don't visit those domains while they are being kited or you are just creating hits and a reason for them to keep the domain for an entire year.

Could I ask where you searched for the domains at? I've never heard of an entire list being stolen like this. I don't know if they still do it, but whois.sc used to sell their search results to domainers.

Well shoot - I can't - I was so pissed I threw out the list and the garbage pickup has come and gone. As to the name of the site I used to search on, I'd rather not publicly say - I'm not in a position to get my ass sued for some kind of slander against them.
