AOL gives out free .com domains to anyone who asks

Well, if we consider that in Realstate we can loose our property to the government if we don't pay the property tax for a number of years, specific to each city/country and it does happen quite often, even Realstate could be compared to a kind of ''License" that must be renewed annually. But the government can not take our property at their only will, for example when it gets a high value.
What about AOL? This is the question.

The way I see it, this will gather more attention to the domain community. It will educate people, outside the business what a domain name actually is. how it works and so on. Its surprising to me how many people, to this day; have no idea what a domain name is.

Personally, I would'nt trust AOL with anything. Unfortunately there are still a lot of people out there that haven’t figured out that AOL and the Internet are two different things.
