Although I may agree that certain swear words should not be allowed to be authorised as Domain Names in Australia, in my mind it is ludicrous to reject domain names such as www.cat.com.au and www.dog.com.au, simply because "cat" and "dog" are dictionary words. Why does this limitation exist in Australia and not in the U.S? As far as I am concerned the Internet is a place where people can talk about whatever they want and give people whatever information they want to gain. In my mind this freedom should extend to Domain Names (within reason of course!) The way I see it, Domain Names should be encouraged by allowing non offensive words to be used as Domain Names. In this country an individual is allowed to have whatever word they want on a license plate so long as the word is not offensive and the individual is willing to pay for it. Domain Names should not be any different...Received on Wed Jan 22 1997 - 16:14:41 UTC
