Was recently touted as a source to support the claim domain names are a
form of property and have associated rights.

Unfortunately, it is doubtful if the original writer of the post to the GA
read the article as it clearly supports the case that domain names are NOT
property.

As with most things legal, it is a murky field, we must be guided by
precedents and all I have seen indicate domain names are not property.
Until such time domain names are given the status of property in the
courts, any arguments in this forum are unproductive.
