What the judge should have done is threaten to cut the domain name in half and see who was willing to give up their claim out of motherly love.

    I wonder how much the city of LA would pay to get La.com back haha.

    Why a city would want a .com tld? A .gov tld would be far more applicable IMO

    Annoyingly, people are more likely to "blind guess" at .com than .gov, just cause there's more of them

    Do people even still exist who have the arcane knowledge to type in a domain directly?

    The city of LA should not get a .com name. They might have a case that la.com should not have a .com either (they look like a tourist .org though if they are not acting like a .org they are scammers) - but this would be a very hard sell in court. The city of LA should have a .gov (which won't allow them) or .us (which is not organized well - something they should be mad about and pressure to get fixed) name.
