Canadian Judge Rules Domain Names Are Property

farrellj writes "A recent decision in the Ontario Appeals court has ruled in favour of Tucows, saying that domain names are considered property, rather than being a license. This has major ramifications for a people both inside and outside Canada, doubly so since Tucows is a major domain registrar. This ruling comes from a very high court, which means that any appeal must go to the Supreme Court of Canada. So there is a good chance this ruling will stand."

Without speculators, there is no liquidity; without liquidity, there is no well-defined price. What makes a speculator a scumbag or not a scumbag?
