I think you misunderstood me.
The genie was let out of the bottle the day that the guy sold
mcdonalds.com to McDonalds; the day that MTV started fighting to get
mtv.com back from Adam Curry. Basically, it all began when the world
started to realize that there was intellectual property and financial
value to domain names.
As it stands now, whether or not we like it, legal issues have come to
dominate the process. One way or another, we will have to deal with
them.
