Clearly, .COM is used for criminal and malicious activities. I propose that we remove it due to abuse.
This points out the legal ambiguity of the global top-level domains. At least with the .to domain it is clear who is responsible for the domain. With .com, .net, etc. the name space crosses legal boundaries inviting all sorts of legal confusion. The legal situation could be clarified considerably if the gtld's were moved under the country code domains. Certainly the legal confusion surrounding the gtld's shouldn't be used as a rational for not developing a process (which is what Barry suggested) for attending to problems associated with the country code domains.
