I totally agree. I don't know if the hun has a trademark or not? I know I've never thought to (or ever really wanted to) trademark the names of any of my sites.

If you judge by the types of domains registered during previous tld releases, every kind of *brand* will be bought by speculators. Some of them have deep pockets with very little knowledge of how they will profit from it..typically they don't..but for every one of those who fails and loses a shitload of money there is another fool ready to take his place.
