That's the _worst_ idea I've heard this week. First of all, "Nationalizing" corporations is not something that free societies do. Second, the effect of this would be to further stifle competition from smaller businesses.

I question the reasoning for changing the 'title' of this submission. The article title which is what it was altered to match, is vague. The actual meat of the story is the action that Network Solutions took. The heading now is un

Fair enough, I just think that people should look for their career by either finding ways to monetize activities which they already enjoy, or by looking for ways to create new kinds of value for the world. If you do those things, revenue of

That's the exact same way that racists treat minorities. You should probably care about the details when you're damning people.

I think you're confusing Stormfront with The Daily Stormer, these are two different groups.

ICANNs primary reason for existing is to "muscle" registrars. Their job is to enforce the rules.

You do own the domains you purchase, this is why there were court trials about trademarks. It's a question of property rights.

You aren't "re-up"ing. Domain names are not pre-paid cell phone plans. Look at it this way. Until a domain is registered, nobody owns it. When you pay to register a domain, you aren't buying it on the registrar's be

Regardless of how the rules are presently defined, that would _never_ stand up in court. And I think it's a waste of time for us to squabble over nonsense that every rational thinking person knows is nonsense. It's important to re

I am no fan of stormfront.org or any other racist organization, but this is not acceptable. When a person registers a domain name, they become the owners of that domain name. It does not belong to the registrar they hired to procure it, and
