Having a bigger namespace leaves less room for domain squatters, so this is a good thing IMHO.

Also, being able to get the domain name you want is a form of free speech, and we should be open to it, even if the intent is to discredit a company.

Many places and people believe there should be limits to free speech if it's in the public good.

Those places has a legal system with laws, courts, lawyers and judges in order to define the limits of free speech. Is there a strong argument why that system has failed here, and why ICANN should step in and police?

See Brandenburg vs. Ohio. But I really fail to see how this tld meets that test. This is about huge corporations getting their panties in a wad when I register starbucks.sucks.

"Many places and people believe there should be limits to free speech if it's in the public good."

Those people are wrong.

The existence of any copyright law means there are limits to free speech.
