What are the laws and regulations on registering personal names? I understand that the probability of registering a first name like Jack.com or Bobby.com is more generic than attaching a last name to it, but what are the rules?
Would, say, Jack.com have the same protection of being generic as JackSmith.com? Or possibly JackNicklaus.com?
Same for something like Bobby.com. Would the chances of getting one ripped away from the real "Bobby Brown" have a high likelihood of success?
There are probably uncountable Bobby Browns around, but to take it a step further, how would an obscure name like BurgessMcKinney.com (just an example!) come to play with the registering of personal names and the legality of holding onto one of them even though it is not your name at all? I've always wondered about this area and never fully understood the grounds on this issue.
