Ah, but how does one enforce it?
Arent you just moving the goal posts to 'personhood' from
'registered markholder'? And when that fails (through spoofing and
forged documents and underground retina scanners), what? Only
individuals who are progeny of 'real' authorized individuals can have
a domain name?
Infinite regression is a logical concept, but there is only one reason
why any human activity finds itself going down that path: simply,
because the humans have surrendered/ forsaken/ forgotten/ {never
understood in the first place{ their humanity to *denatured* ersatz
roles, variously called rules, regulations, laws, conventions, etc etc.
One of these days, we'll realize that the way out of the ambiguity of
domain names (for all the armwaving, thats all the 'cybersquatting'
argument is about) is for *real people* to participate -- if one is not
enough, get a few; if a few is not enough get a bunch -- isnt that
what the internet can do for any cause on earth (maybe even a few
on the outer planets as well)? Participate in what? In *observing
whether the ambiguity exists: can they tell the difference between
attt.com and the real thing? In *deciding what to do about it,
through the gamut of recourse from tar and feathers to shunning to
the supreme act of justice, pulling the plug.
