It should not be without great consternation that a corporation should overtake a people.

It should not be without great consternation that a corporation should overtake a people.
- ryanlol 8y agoBut that's not happening. There isn't "a people" who want .amazon, there's an intergovernmental organization that supposedly wants to use the TLD for tourism purposes.
- anoncake 8y ago> an intergovernmental organization So, multiple peoples?
- ryanlol 8y agoJust as Amazon the company has multiple shareholders I suppose
- anoncake 8y agoSo what? It is still a corporation and its interests are irrelevant compared to the one of a people, let alone multiple.
- ryanlol 8y agoWhy exactly is Amazon.com less relevant than the Amazon tourist industry? They don't want .amazon for "the people", they want it for the tourism industry which also consists of faceless corporations.
- anoncake 8y agoWhat Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela are going to do with the domain they have a right to is their business.
- ryanlol 8y agoWhy should they have any more of a right to the domain than Amazon the company? I don't think any of those countries use the word.
- anoncake 8y agoObviously they do use that word, else they would not care about the domain. Mr. Bezos could have made up his own word rather than trying to steal one.
