I worked at company_name when the .xxx top level domain became available, and my boss was sure that we should buy company_name.xxx. I talked them out of it. Luckily no one has maliciously registered company_name.xxx all these years later. I guess it could happen any day now.

Capital oriented companies can lead to the correct outcome if the consumer has enough information to distinguish the superior product. One solution to this problem that capitalism has found is UL Listing (Underwriters Laboratories.) Of course you could say they are just outsourcing what should be done by the government. It comes down to who do you trust to not fall into corruption.
