Swiss Dispute Over Domains

The Swiss government claims it has the right to take over a few controversial domain names which have to do with Switzerland. The Swiss entrepreneur who has had the domains since 1995 says the government has no right in taking over what he owns. The government currently has the domain of http://www.ch.ch and thinks it has full reign on other languages to say Switzerland.

Personally I think the Swiss entrepreneur is in the right because there are many other websites which fit this bill too. In fact, I think it's a waste to simply just redirect the website, like http://www.switzerland.ch which goes to the dot.com of the address.

By using proper marketing to let others know of the domain, would simply curb this problem. If you knew you would redirect yourself to the proper website. I'm for the Swiss entrepreneur in this case hands down. It's his right to free speech, to have his own domain and he beat the government to the punch by over 5 years. The government is in the loss and well if they would have hired someone earlier, maybe they wouldn't be pouting about this entire ordeal in the first place. The Swiss entrepreneur has a million dollar domain and he's making it work for him.
