Welcome to the world of International trade. The Brits used to send their navy out to plunder spanish galleons on the high seas. What you didn't pick up, is that using your domains may not be a crime in other parts of the world. (Actually, its not technically a crime in the US either. But in the US, it may subject the unauthorized user to civil penalties) Althougth, there was a review process when the TLD's were created. It was decided then that each country would have a TLD, and would be responsible for its administration. So your rights are limited to whatever they are with respect to international law, and your rights in that foreign country. --Dean ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Plain Aviation, Inc dean@av8.com LAN/WAN/UNIX/NT/TCPIP http://www.av8.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
