Except he wasn’t a cyber squatter — he built a business around it.

It’s seems uncommon for countries to actually own COUNTRY.com - UnitedStates.com, America.com, Germany.com and many more are privately held.

germany.com isn't in the same class as the other examples; France's claim on france.com is arguably more similar to Germany's hypothetical claim on deutschland.com . Why assume that what governments really care about is the English name for their country?

Germany doesn’t care about deutschland.com either.

So, unclear what your point is.

Mine, is that countries generally don’t seem to care about the .com (of any variation) of the country name.
