Tbh this seems like a win—you want to incentivize making as much use of those short domains as possible.

- snypher 2y agoIs this like forcing a tenant out of a property because you wish to raise the rent?
- seniorivn 2y agoits the opposite, its an increase of rent, because you want to increase rent
- darby_nine 2y agoYea, but in this case the property is very special. I don't think anyone has a right to own a "name" for perpetuity, especially such a short one—that's just extending property rights to a nonsensical place. Granted, I also have zero respect for people who think that trademarks, patents, and copyright are still working to promote rather than stifle the arts and sciences, so I can understand why my above sentiment might rankle.

- mulmen 2y agoOk please stop posting as darby_nine. I’d like my turn with that identity. I think it fits with some objectionable conspiracy theories I’d like to promote.
- hsbauauvhabzb 2y agoSo instead of fair use you’d like to reserve domains for the rich?
- samatman 2y agoCountries owning their ccTLDs seems basically correct to me. If you rent a `.tm` domain, you're doing business with the nation of Turkmenistan: might want to think about whether a TLD pun is worth taking on that relationship.
- mulmen 2y agoHow do you know the TLD was a pun and not an otherwise appropriate use of the .tm TLD? By your logic why would anyone use a ccTLD?
