"The world is running out of names. The roster of possible names seems almost infinite, but the demand is even greater. With the rise of instantaneous communication, business spreading across the globe and the Internet annihilating geography, conflict is rampant in this realm of language and of intellectual property. Rules are up for grabs. Laws regarding names have never been in such disarray." (NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE) The author reports that "as globalization and the Internet make the world smaller, there are not enough names to go around" and examines some of the legal battles over the use of names.
