URLs

["Carolyn I. Gundrum" <webmistress@MIKIDS.COM>]

HI ~

I thought I would just ask ~

Are URL's public domain?

By this I mean, can anyone  ie: 'Internet Yellow Pages' or '100 Best
Websites for Kids' make a list of web sites, publish the URLs and sell the
book/CD/magazine to the public, without consent of the registered owner of
the URL?

I know it is done with printed material titles ie: Books, CDs/ Magazines,
Software, etc.

Do URLs fall into the same category as Titles? Does anyone know the legal
answer?

TIA,

Carolyn
