    There are no rules that say you cannot. Now, if you owned that same "shortcut" in .kw that'd be a different story.

    Short answer: yes you can.
    But in many extensions including .info country names are protected (reserved).

    Have a look at the case of newzealand.com for example: http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/d...2002-0754.html
    It's official, the Queen of England is a reverse hijacker

    Now if you own a valuable domain, it will likely be coveted by other people so the likelihood of a reverse hijacking attempt against it are higher. A LLL.com is clearly a valuable domain
