"[Magaziner] has got 40 or 50 of the most major corporations
in the world today who have been meeting with him
regularly to tell him that adding new domains would
hopelessly exacerbate their intellectual property and
trademark problems," said Network Solutions Inc. (NSI)
senior vice president Don Telage, who has been in close
contact with the president's Net adviser. "You can imagine if
we added hundreds or even dozens of new top-level
domains what the intellectual property costs would be. It
would mean millions and millions of dollars in legal fees."

 Millions of dollars suing small
 copyright holders who have equal
 rights to the characters of any
 language to any corporate entity.
 Reports aside it's full steam ahead
 with the multiplicity of Domain
 Names. Including .FCN (and in time,
 .WTV) which I shall begin taking
 registrations for ASAP. Strike first
 and strike fast.

 Fuck all this prevaractaion. The
 Internet belongs to the millions of
 individuals who created it not a
 handul of rich assholes with lawyers
 dripping off them begging to sue every
 podunk webmaster who so much as whispers
 any words they allegedly own. The courts
 may just have to choke on our bodies
 before the world realizes NO-ONE can
 trademark universal letters, numbers
 and wordings.

 .FCN will be open for business as soon
 as I can muster the necessary resources.

 Any help you may offer will be graciously
 accepted. We seek to serve the citizens
 of the Internet... Don't Tread On Us!
