Purchasing a Hierarchy

I came across a web page that states the following:

"Internet Marketing Inc. has bought the worldwide rights to act as the exclusive
marketing company of the soon to be unveiled market.* hierarchy (market.finance.*,
market.consumer.*, market.internet.* ... you get the picture) of the Usenet area of the
Internet."

This page can be found at http://venus.mcs.com/~advertiz/html/hear.html

Can someone enlighten me as to how rights to a newsgroup hierarchy can be purchased?

Thanks
