Will Sex.com Cripple the Net?
 

I will keep this short but this is the biggest load of crap I have ever seen. I have heard some lame arguments in my 35 years on this earth but this has to be one of the lamest. Now I know why I have always hated Network Solutions!:boid

Kremen asserts NSI is liable for using inadequate safeguards to protect his property. NSI claims that domain names aren?t property and they cannot be held responsible for giving its customers? registered names away.

cool i want them to pass thehun.com on to me then... apparently its not really the REGISTERED OWNERS property anyways...

Well spank me tickled-pink and paint me a horse!!

Goes to the issue like phone numbers which you don't actually own, but rather have use of for however long you pay for it.

Technically for example a company could trademark 1-800-FLOWERS. But when you think about it they really don't own the underlying phone number being trademarked. So it gets very murky from a legal standpoint.

Same issue with domains. A lot of exceptional domains are trademarked which from one standpoint creates a form of value which you could say is a tangible asset even though legally you don't own the domain only have use of it like a phone number.

When you buy or sell a domain all you are effectively doing is buying or selling the right to use it, not the domain itself.

That right to use it could also be valued so even if that is the fall back I think he could still win some cash.

So this means I could have whitehouse.gov transferred to me..
How cool would that be? :)

the .gov couldn't be considered property any more than .com, so let's have some .gov domains transferred to us and have a hayday.. :)

No
