  Paul, there already has been considerable discussion on this very
  subject - the list archives of early 2002 or thereabouts should find it.
  Infortunately I don't have the exact references for you.

  In essence, though, you cannot sell a domain name per se - but you can
  sell the entity that owns the licence, and thereby the domain name with
  it.

  What I'm not clear about, however, is what happens in this scenario:

  I run a business called Smelly Sox Pty Ltd, and I do a roaring trade in
  second hand hosiery from my website www.smellysox.com.au.  I want to
  sell that website, and the business it generates, to Sports Footwear Pty
  Ltd.  With or without my permission, Sports Footwear Pty Ltd registers a
  business name Smelly Sox Online.

  Question:  Can I "sell" or otherwise transfer the _business_ of Smelly
  Sox Pty Ltd, but not the Company as such, thereby smellysox.com.au to
  the business name Smelly Sox Online, who qualifies as a  registrant for
  smellysox.com.au, but nevertheless owned by Sports Footwear Pty Ltd?

  If not, can Smelly Sox Pty Ltd register the business name Smelly Sox
  Online, make that the registrant (as it's a wholly owned trading name of
  the original registrant), then sell that trading name to another party,
  complete with its domain?

  Legal eagles - any comment?
