Eminent Domain
We are all aware of eminent domain as it exists in real estate. But the word domain got me to thinking... shouldn't their be eminent domain domain? That is to say... if someone isn't actively pursuing a web domain, someone with a valid use for the web domain should be able to get it without having to buy the domain at an outrageous cost.
It's sickening how domains are snarfed up by domain whores and just sit on the web getting crusty and old.

I can't remember the last time I read about land being forcibly sold to build a road or a school, but my parents' neighbors and nearly my parents themselves came very close to being forcibly relocated to make way for a Wal Mart distribution center.
I can't imagine that a virtual eminent domain would be any less corrupt.
