It should be the same model as Intellectual Property, it falls more closely
to this than the stock exchange I think.

The stock market is based on assets and turnover to name some, whereas the
domain name is based on exactly that, a name and the right to use it online,
in the same sense a registered trademark allows you the right to use a name,
process, plan etc for a period of ten years.
