Ahh, a blast of sanity from Scandinavia. The Swedish government recently announced that the Patent and Registration Office would no longer allow companies to register with the suffix .com in their names. And no se., www. or @ marks either.
Somewhere, gazillionaires-in-waiting are gnashing their teeth. There is outrage among the libertarians who know that information wants to be free and any restrictions on the activity in, concerning, around, near, in relatively proximity to or in the same era as cyberspace is an abuse of government power and a threat to the continued existence of the digital economy. (Of course, these people also consider the Patent and Registration Office a pimple on the backside of humanity: a pointless irritant.)
I say "thank you."
