[ga] lawyers

["kidsearch" <kidsearch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You know, I have a lot of disagreements with lawyers on many topics, especially in the area of trademarks and domain names, however, lawyers do have their plus side. 

An example would be; 

I build a new website.

I state that I am taking pre-orders on domain names in the tld of .lawyer. 

I begin my new business and sell lots of pre-orders. 

Then ICANN says nope, we're not going to approve of your tld on the main root. 

I speak with my lawyer, who you will remember I said there were some uses for, and ask him if they can stop me from doing that. 

He says nope. They are restraining free enterprise against a company who now has proven technical capabilities and has enough pre-orders to prove a demand for the product in question.

I tell my lawyer to do his thing.

Personally, I think it might just fly.
