Also a corporation is a person because judges have ruled that too. I certainly agree that opinions can differ whether various things (e.g. intellectual property) should be called property or not. But personally I don't like the dilution of the concept. "Ownership" of a URL is more like a contractual right. As for your home/land, if you don't pay property taxes the govt may begin a legal proceeding to seize it which must satisfy the usual checks and balances when the govt wants to violate your rights. Then they probably auction it off and the balance minus your back taxes goes to you. The point is you have real rights. Meanwhile your domain may be worth a million bucks at auction but you aren't getting squat because you forgot to pay the $12 fee, or violated some other detail in the contract.
