I don't see why.  The US tld is .us not .com I believe.  .com, .org and .net
are meant to be international with the us tld being .us however US companies
have hijacked this.  So I believe a .org, .net or .com should be taken by
international companies and .co.uk/.org.uk should be used if they are UK
based and not international in anyway.  US companies should be slapped and
then made to use their cruddy .us domains then slapped again to make sure.

What *really* annoys me is US companies with .coms who refuse to
recognise/deliver to outside US customers.  It annoys me even more when
their advertising reaches me with benefits of their new wonder deal and I
can't take advantage of it.  Especially when it is in the form of an email
that lands in my UK mail box.  B'starts.

will.
