I just came across this great blog post by "the Domain King" Rick Schwartz
He compares compares land owners and domain name owners in a great way, and has many very good examples of similarities in "cyberspace" and in the "real world"
Mr. Schwartz is one of the real internet and domain name pioneers and his $1,800 start investment in 1995-96 is a multi-million "empire" today.
The blog post is great, and I especially recommend it to people that likes to call all domain owners for cybersquatters..
Here you go.

STOP THE TRAIN!! Own property in cyberspace? Land you paid for. Land you pay taxes and fees on. Land that is in cyberspace and then domain owners are attacked as CYBERSQUATTERS? That's just nonsense and folks need to stop swallowing nonsense. They need to stop being parrots that just talk out of ignorance by repeating what others say and actually THINK for themselves. I heard a dozen folks rag on the Iphone (tm) this weekend. When I asked them if they actually tried one they said “NO!” They just repeated what some other know nothing on TV said that hadn’t seen or used one either and has a motive. I got news for ya, it does not matter what Paris Hilton thinks! It does not matter what some newscaster thinks. It does not matter what some guy invested in Verizon or Sprints says. It is about what YOU decide.
