Why can the internet not just get in line with the normal trademark laws?
It seems miss leading to customers to let them just keep going. There are
(24x24x24) 13824 different www.godado.xxx out there that could be created.
Will all companies have to buy them all to guard your trademark? Will
Madonna's layers take 13824 people to court to secure the name of a
religious figure she copied the name of. I think at some point people will
wake up and realise that there is another 13 000 name fights to go and its a
pointless exercise in shameless revenue generation. There are already over
191 million domain name combinations you can have in the format
www.xxxxxx.com with the couple of hundred different extensions it runs into
the billion somewhere, that's just with six letters before the dot com. Is
there a point where you have to impose some sort of order on this? Else we
will be at the mercy of these clowns who one day will come up with a dot con
extension.

I agree with Tim 100%.

Anyone else want to strike a blow for sanity and help destroy the ISP/domain
registry monopoly stranglehold of new businesses?
