No but im saying it shouldn't be public, it should be given to a good corporate citizen to maintain so we can rent it back when we need it.

Well, public domain gets you halfway there. You can still rent it later, provided the original is user-unfriendly enough that you'd be interested in alternatives.

Okay but 'public domain' is communist, and everyone within 20 miles of it should be killed

But its not physical so there is no precise location for it, and the only way to sidestep this existential problem is by not having a public domain, so maybe my headache goes away.

Hmm, maybe we could make private domain? It's like public domain, but private.

Right, so you could only access it by paying corporate citizens. Yes.
