Re: [wg-b] Not Speech?
The statement below is not correct. The domain names themselves have been
found to be speech -- both by the courts and in our common discussion. What
else could Y_company_sucks.org be?
As domain names can be used as "mere addresses," or as product or service
identifiers, they can also be used as speech.

As Mr. Hartman has pointed out, domain names are not speech, but the content

In order to stay focused on the law, it would be instructive to take a look
at it from time to time, such as the recent decision in:
Jeri-Jo Knitwear, Inc. v. Club Italia, Inc., 98 CV 4270 (RO), UNITED
STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, 2000 U.S.
Dist. LEXIS 4891 , April 17, 2000, Decided, April 18, 2000, Filed >>
