This is just one reason why domains as trademarks is so blinking stupid - they cannot
be so.Trademarks HAVE TO (by law) protect even slight variations of their name
in every TLD - as it causes 'consumer confusion'.
Even though there may be hundreds
or thousands of other trademarks using the same words - all over the world - so there
are bound to be conflicts.
It amounts to a Trademark Tax!
The Internet is being
run either by:
1. The most pathetic, ignorant, and moronic imbeciles on the whole
flipping planet !!!
2. Groups of corrupt officials, legal establishment and business
men.
These are clever people folks - my money is on number 2 - corruption.

The
solution is simple:
apple.com is redirected to apple.computer.us.reg
They share
word 'Apple' with 727 others in the USA alone (plus all those in 200+ countries).
Apple
Records in the UK could then get apple.info - redirected to apple.record.uk.reg
No
'consumer confusion', 'trademark conflict' or 'passing off' there then.
dot REG
acts as certificate of authentication and directory.
So somebody in US after Apple
computer could enter apple.com or apple.computer.us.reg

They are all corrupt
folks.
