Nobody can own namespaces. They're "just" acting as a middleman for buying names in Namecoin in a namespace they've defined themselves, but anyone could bypass them and buy their own names in that namespace.

The annoying thing is, we already have a namespace for identities, it's standardised and documented on the wiki. They came in and defined their own namespace for no good reason.
