That's like claiming McDonalds should be permitted to get all burger
fast food chains to close down because they are duplicating their
product.

It is not a duplication.  There is no .biz in the ICANN root, and the
ICANN .biz does not have to appear in the privately run alt.root
namespaces.  Both stores can sell burgers, and fries and shakes and
....

ICANN has not done anything to enforce any policy that would prohibit
alternative roots from being run. They are not putting them out of
business at all.

(For that matter, the alt.root operators themselves seem to
think that root systems are not businesses, so how can they be put out
of business when they claim they are not in it?)

Watch the personal attacks, Chris.  Don't make me sic Corliss on ya.
