5). ICANN Creating a Monopoly in Domain Names
When the Internet was very young, all you had to do to get a domain name was call a man named Jon Postel, and ask for it. Things have changed greatly with the popularity of the Internet. Now the competition for a good, short, generic domain name is fierce. If you want a domain name in the popular .com namespace, you have to settle for a long, sometimes confusing, domain name.

6). ICANN Violating Free Enterprise
Message to ICANN: Let those who want to create a tld, simply register it with ICANN.
If the tld is not already taken, if they have the technical capability to mange the tld, and they have the desire to market domain names on that tld, then let them do so.
It should be similar to the registering of a domain name, except on a higher level, with the added technical requirements.

8). Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights--What’s the Difference?
Patents
A patent protects inventions through federal law. Inventions are your creative ideas for new products (articles of manufacture), machines, processes, methods, compositions of matter, ornamentation on products, or new plants. An improvement on an existing product may also be patented.
Utility patents protect the majority of these. To be patentable, your invention must be useful, novel and non-obvious.
