Re: Trade Marks

That is quite true. In addition, you sometimes end up with situations where someone sues another someone over their domain name and it is hard to tell who should have the rights to it. For example, a year ago, someone who had the domain france.com which was used to organize tourism to France was sued by the French government, who wanted it for I don't really know why. You could make an argument that the tourism guy didn't have the right to get the domain in the first place because France already had the name, or that France didn't have the right to take it from him after he had been using it. Who is right?
