It seems there is a lot of misunderstanding about the concept of domain
name registration.

Even the top registrar, Networksolutions has become a broker:

It is not against the law to register domain names as long as they do
not infringe upon an existing trademark.

I registered the names I own because they were available. It is like a
land grab on the Internet at the moment and any business that fails to
recognize that would not survive.

If I did not register these names some one else would. In fact I have
received some pretty good offers from a man in Germany who wants to
purchase two of my Swiss related names to use for adult sites.
I declined the offer because I am more interested in those who want to
use the names for ecommerce portals. I am very interested in the
globalisation of marketplaces and I think people really need to
understand the potential of a global economy in order to comprehend the
idea behind what I am doing.

There are websites that broker domain names in the hundreds of
thousands of dollars, http://www.GreatDomains.com.

I would be the first to admit that the domain name market is crazy -
however it is no better or worse than "owning" an acre of land.

Instead of getting upset from a lack of understanding, it is better to
study this phenomenon and try to understand it as best as you can. It
is here to stay. I would be willing to consult (for free!)  with anyone
who needs help registering an international name or simply with
understanding where the global economy is headed.

I also understand the anger and resentment but it is not a situation
that is controlable.

I look forward to a continuing discourse.
