"Get Out of My Namespace"

Yeah, so I think that this entire name and lawsuit thing has definetly gone way beyond necessary. Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones demanding the "cease and disist" of the use of the name when it wasn't even his birth name...who does that? Seriously way out of line, so unnecessary! Then the ownership of 911...you have got to be kidding me! I'm sorry sir, Porsche is suing you for using 911. We understand that your child was hit by a car and needed medical attention immediatly but Porsche has rights to this number and you cannot be using it. A number of such significance and that has been used for so many years should not have rights that can be sold or owned. Oh and the lawsuit by Porsche against the village of Carrera...hhhmmm which one do you think came first. I'm pretty sure the people of Carrera didn't wake up one morning and say "I like that name that Porsche Company uses, Carrera . We should change our village name to that." Ummm, yeah, no, I don't think so.
The use of domain names is a different story though. I think association is a big thing when it comes to names, especially on the internet. Lets see, for example, disney...Disney should by all means have first dibs on this domain. Children are online all the time now. What if they were to innocently type in Disney.com in hopes of seeing Mickey Mouse. I would assume that disney.com would take me right to Mickey. But what if some other random company got that domain first and what if said company was some pornsite. Oh, yeah, I'm sure Mom and Dad would be estatic over that...how about the lawyers coming to their house to explain to their little one what was going on in that site. How about some super religious person looking to buy a car. They type in ford.com hoping to check out the new trucks...lets just hope thats what they get.
A limit as to what you can own has got to be made. Bondaries have got to be laid down! You need them as children and you need them more than ever as adults. Lawsuits are the American way, though, its all about who owns what. This name control thing won't be put to an end until that is taken care of first.
Money should not be playing the only factor in this name game. Association should be number one. Before anybody can have any right to a name they need to have some sort of association, not just because its a popular name or because they like it.
Seriously, though, this whole thing is rediculous. Things need to change...you cannot sue someone because they have the same birth name as you just because you are well known and have money. You cannot sue a town because of its name is the same as the name you've given a car...Way too extreme...
