Title:

DNS can very well operate by territory.

 

If the root zone owner delegates the UK TLD to the United Kingdom, then the controller of geographical territory is the controller of a domain!  Very simple.

 

< There already exist plenty of laws about use of names -- the Internet, and specifically the DNS is just another publishing/advertising means.>

 

IANAL (I am not a lawyer), but I would rather say DNS is an unique means of distribution that cannot operate by territory, only on a global scale.
