Message:

Why should Julia Roberts (the actress) have sole God-like right to juliaroberts.COM? What about all the other Julia Roberts throughout the world?
She could protect her name with juliaroberts.film.us.REG or similar.
If she wishes the dot COM, let her buy it, if owner wishes to sell.
Everyone (inc. companies) should realise the are not the only one in the world with that name. A very greedy and selfish atitude - which is what they accuse others of.
This is the reason I have not bought garryanderson.com, I know that I do not have a God-like right to it.
