I don't agree that foreclosure is an illegitimate taking of property, but I get your point. And I agree with you, domains are worth the risk...that's why most of my money is in this business! @ Jeff – thanks for clarifying.

Imminent domain, Foreclosure, War, Government laws,Government overthrows, you name it. Ask native American Indians about this very question.My point being you can have any asset taken away from you. There has never been a time in recorded history where you could own and control letters of the alphabet. That is why you can make thosands of percent gains in compressed time periods of days not decades. This happens every day to domainers and has nver happened for land owners. These are facts not fiction. So I ask everyone are the risks worth it? Damn right they are! Andrew there are many ways legally that your property rights can be taken.

Are you talking about banks taking homes in foreclosure because the owner didn't make his/her payments? Jeff, I don’t understand what you’re saying.

We are currently on one of the greatest land grabs by banks and other institutions in recent history. Lets revisit this statement one year from today. You have no idea of the scope of the coming carnage that will befall real estate investors. The problem runs not in the billions but trillions. Unless you pay cash for real estate the sales agreements everyone signs are designed to separate you from your property under certain conditions. This will not be the first fleecing of property rights and it will not be the last.If you like those odds when investing your money. Look into the history of land ownership down through history. I assure you you will find little comfort. I find it a very interesting comment “that knowone will twist the laws and take your real estate”.

Wouldn't it be easier to have a centralised registry (like .info & .biz) and then have the registry escrow the data? “ICANN is beginning to require registrars to “escrow” their data so as to regain control of domains quickly when a registrar goes defunct.”
