Never fear. The Kingdom of Tonga allows you to register any domain name. Trademarked or not. Their fully automated domain registration system, operating out of their San Francisco consulate, can be reached at http://www.tonic.to .. I just love free enterprise,
"Kingdom .... free enterprise" -- hmmm :-) With an automated system, you can probably _register_ any name, but you might have trouble keeping it registered. Don't know how they'd feel about obscene names, or "The-King-Is-A-Fink.to" or "Return-Minerva-Now.to"....
They might object and revoke the domain. But they make it clear in their FAQ that they couldn't care less about trademarks. --Lucky Green <shamrock@netcom.com> PGP encrypted mail preferred. DES is dead! Please join in breaking RC5-56. http://rc5.distributed.net/
