You contend that domain names are not marks, yet there is something 
called a UDRP.  Seems the World Intellectual Property Organization 
disagrees with you... only where it suits their purposes (and clients) 
of course.  

So, before you continue raving that domains are not IP to Todd (or 
anyone else on this list), perhaps you should turn your hand to 
convincing the IP lawyers that domain names are not protected marks.

IANAL but neither is William Walsh.
