Re: [ga] New York State Domain Law

[elliot noss <enoss@xxxxxxxxxx>]

danny, two things. first, I was just joking with karl (in response to  
his gentle poke). second, this law explicitly does not apply to us  
and our use of surnames i) because we explicitly do NOT buy them for  
resale and ii) there is nothing left in the primary market in any  
event. I understood this law to apply to people doing things like  
registering the name of brad and angelina's baby.

I think it is just fantastic that this congresswoman has the time and  
energy to protect unborn celebrities! this looks like a classic piece  
of "it happened to a friend of her's" legislation.
