Subject:	Legal ownership of TLDs
Message:
I've never knew about .earth, .usa, or .z before your statement, however you may want to take a look at the latest ruling by a California federal court which states that you cannot claim a trademark or service mark on a TLD. It would seem that your claim of legally owning these domains isn't supported by existing law. I find this whole subject of TLD "ownership" very interesting so I would like to learn more about your claims. Jeff
