Political Factoid

The internet was formally
surrendered over to the wealthy
and large corporations with the
opening of top-level domain names*
to commercial trade names and
trademarks.
 
* i.e., instead of ending with the
traditional "www.something.com"
or "www.something.edu"
or "www.something.org"
 
-- they can now end with a trade name,
such as "www.something.pepsi"
or "www.something.microsoft"
or "www.something.jpmorgan"
or "www.something.harvard"
or "www.something.sarahpalin"
or "www.something.plannedparenthood"
 
All it takes is money (plus connections).
