Message:
"wouldn't it be in the true spirit of a free market with no government interference" This doesn't actually sound like an argument *in favour* of your proposal.  Allowing the net to be run by a "free market" means allowing it to be run by large companies for their own interests. Although I do like the idea of preventing online trademark litigation. Perhaps in combination with restrictions on the number of domains people & companies could own.  So I could get coca-cola.web, but it would have to be the only site I owned ;)...
