My last name is a word in the name of a popular drink company and depending on the domain extension used, I've had some real issues trying to buy a domain that uses my last name.

The last domain I tried to buy was ".codes", and within about ten minutes my domain purchase was revoked. After arguing it with Namecheap, they said that I would need to legally dispute their claim over the domain name to be allowed to purchase it.

I like to think that buying a domain means ownership, but it is clearly a rental model, and it is geared towards those that can protect that entity without competition.
