so, nsi owns all domain names just becasue the own a registration technology and process? i thought the internet was a new frontier; stake your claim, set up your shop, make your money if you can.
registering a domain name and building a business around the properties of that name seems to make it more than just a shop address on main street usa that one would rent for a brick and mortar business for example. a 'name' of a business online can be just as powerful as, say 'ford' is to that company. denying rights of ownership is like saying the entire ebusiness model thingy is dynamic and can change at any time -maybe it can. but what if nsi did the same thing to yahoo or amazon? think there would be an ownership battle for those names?
