This one disturbs me because I am the registrant of poetry.info and it highlights the way that the IP lobby acts in an overbearing way to reserve generic words from our language for itself. Why shouldn't other people run poetry websites or 'intend to run websites' or just choose a domain name for a website about poetry? Why should the commercial assume an auromatic first-claim ahead of the spiritual or artistic or personal?
What gives IP claimants the right to reserve first claim on generic words from our language when new TLDs are released?
How did it ever get to this point?
Yrs,
Richard Henderson
