Your posting, to which I was responding, expressed ideas and
opinions based on the belief that trademark owners (aka big
business) have a superior right to domain names than other entities.
If that is not grounded in the philosophy that money = power =
right, then perhaps you can tell us what philosophy it is grounded
in?
