Another thing was whether the media like C|net and ZDnet saw this article and gave a followup on the whole issue. If I am not mistaken I had read about a court ruling which prohibitted somebody (other than the owner unless he rejects it) to own a site based on a trademark, so although anobody could own TV.com or television.org but not SONY.COM/SONY.ORG Another thing which I wanted to know is isn't there any restriction of commercial companies owning .org domain names ? They could own linux.com but not linux.org site. I would love to hear anything on these. Regards. -swapan
