I get why it's appealing on a "little guy against big nameless corporation" level, but honestly, it's like an annoying kid who wants attention.

It's not like gail.com or nissan.com are providing any content that 99.999999999% would find remotely interesting or useful, I imagine most are just annoyed to accidentally stumble on some barely-coherent anti-capitalist rambling.

But I get it. It's cool to be a rebel.

I mean... if you walk into my storefront and get annoyed I'm not selling what you expected, because you meant to walk into my neighbor's storefront, why should I feel bad about that? Why should I change anything? Seems like an odd perspective.

My domain doesn't have any content most people would find remotely interesting or useful. If a large corporation names a product similarly to my domain, should I feel pressured into changing?

Cue Office Space Michael Bolton quote.

This comment is what really worries me about domain name disputes. You seem to be under the impression that http is the only use for DNS, and you are very very wrong.
