    Nobody owns a name until it is first registered.

    Some people have registered thousands of names in the hope that they can sell them, but if the name is not currently registered, you can register it.

    Nobody owns non-registered names. However the central authority controlling the top-level domains is ICANN - http://www.icann.org/
