Back then things weren't as clear-cut and I believe a lot of money changed hands when corporations realized that they need their website right now.

- pasbesoin 12y agoYou can be too late, with respect to certain windows. For a while, people made significant money selling highly desired domain names, including to big companies. Now, those companies just "take them away" via trademark infringement claims. The legal structure for doing so has since been constructed and tested by them. One of my concerns is that more and more such windows are being closed. It's not the isolated case, but the overall trend towards a corporate and corporate state restricted "push" implementation. I.e. the end of "open".
- meowface 12y agoI don't really see how disallowing people from registering a name already in use by a person or company goes against "openness". If you're using someone else's name, I think they're justified in trying to forcibly retake control of it.
