.NET is better, even .INFO is better than .BIZ.

There were like 19 IP claims for show.biz, as I remember, so I didn't get it. Music.biz was highly contested also. No luck there neither. I know it's been disputed if you can actually IP claim generic names, such as show and music. I would like to know who actually got them. They don't show up in a whois search as yet. Maybe there's a trial? Some people gotta be really pissed for having bought several tickets in the lottery, which may have come to nought because of IP claims. I just bought one for each name. Well, opus.biz was another one of mine. 2 IP claims, as I recall. Didn't get it. Books.biz, likewise, but with more IP claims. But then: oeuvre.biz, oeuvres.biz, rocknote.biz, rocknotes.biz - HELLO, I'm in business! I like .biz a whole lot, I must say. Only drawback is its location on the keyboard. Pretty uncool, eh. The proof of the pudding, though, will be in its eventual popularity (or lack of it). We'll have to wait and see. I'll stick to my .org and .com versions of the above names until .biz has established itself. And yes, I do intend to start a bona fide business eventually.
