what about .me ?
- teddyh 3y agoAre you a citizen of Montenegro? If you are, feel free to use it! Otherwise, I suggest that you use something else.
- alexvitkov 3y agoHello, I am an official representarive of the Balkan countries. A non-negligable chunk of our GDP is based on random Rust projects using Serbia's .rs and of course .me. If you stop using our TLDs our ecobomies will collapse. Kind regards, The Balkans
- WesolyKubeczek 3y agoSerbians should really let go of the idea they can speak for all Balkan nations. -- Sincerely, Everyone Else
- munk-a 3y agoSuddenly Bismark's remark about bad things coming "[...] out of some damned foolish thing in the Balkans" is echoing in my head.
- benatkin 3y agoFine by me. Old article about how big of an export it is: https://techcrunch.com/2017/01/10/me-10-years-and-two-percent-of-exports/ https://techcrunch.com/2017/01/10/me-10-years-and-two-percen...
- benatkin 3y ago"feel free to use it" I feel free with my .co domain and I'm not a citizen of Colombia TYVM.
- teddyh 3y agoGood luck with that. What happens when there’s a dispute with a Colombian entity who wants your domain? Who do you think will have the advantage? Would you trust the Colombian registry and courts to favor you?

- PrimeMcFly 3y agoThey could take the dispute to the UN internet court for domain names, whatever it's called. I can't see why that would apply only to the TLDs that existed 20 years ago.
- teddyh 3y agoYou’re thinking of WIPO, perhaps? IIUC, they can’t interfere in the affairs of a ccTLD registry unless invited to do so. So if the Colombian authorities says you lose your domain to some local Colombian outfit, then you lose.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoI was thinking of WIPO, and that's interesting that they have to be invited. I guess someone could always establish a cheap LLC there if they really wanted protection.
