Whoever owns ronpaul.com consider voluntarily giving it up to Ron Paul.

If I were Ron Paul I would hire a lawyer that does this for a living and get the domain. I think it would be a slam dunk case.

looks like something in the range of 50,000 plus is reasonable for compensation

It wouldn't be very libertarian of him to go seize someone's property.

there is an argument that it is his name and all these years the guy has been unfairly enriched by Ron's actions....

I think Ron should make an offer. I don't think he has any interest in making a demand.

It looks he would have a good case, just reading the Wikipedia on it. Though, that law is very much against the the libertarian ethics espoused by people like Walter Block. I would bet there is very little chance that the owner gives the site up for free or RP demands it. If RP wants it, he should pay the person what it is worth. (Though I would be very surprised if its worth the 50k that someone said the owner paid for it.)

I just listened to the Ron Paul on AJ tube and at the very end Ron mentions how it is unfortunate he doesn't have RonPaul.com and his default homepage has to be ronpaulhomepage.com

You know what's funny, is ronpaulhomepage.com is available, so I doubt Ron said the correct domain on the show. Either that, or incompetent staffers didn't grab it yet.

He doesn't even need ronpaul.com, there's a good domain available if he wants it. Much better than ronpaulhomepage.com or whatever he's choosing to use.
 
OK, this seriously pisses me off.

Ron is in his seventies. He has no reason to 'understand the workings and technical import of the internet' but MANY true believer supporters of his do, and he needs to hire them and get off this 'people who ran campaigns for totally different type of people' kick. Now that he is not running as a candidate maybe he'll be open to that. Would some of you PLEASE submit your resumes to him already?
 
Guys stop it. Qh4dotcom owns it. All Ron has to do is contact him. Geesh.

It was auctioned on Ebay a few years ago and sold for more than $25,000....considering that Ron Paul has more name recognition now than a few years ago, it could be well be worth $50,000 or more.
