Comment: Fame should NOT be the basis

Fame should NOT be the basis for granting a privilege. One reaps from their ongoing work. ... Notice the present tense. If one doesn't work, one doesn't reap. Notice the PRESENT tense. One should NOT be allowed to reap from PAST production indefinitely at the taxpayer's expense (copyrights, trademarks, patents) through some "granted" privilege. If someone else works to profit from another person's fame, then so shall he reap (reward). Notice the present tense. In this case, someone else crossed the finish line first by working to acquire a domain using Ron's name. Ron can either haggle with the seller over a price, expose the seller's tactics in the media to encourage a reduction in price, acquire an available domain, or abandon the InterNet (best idea). ;)
