*Sole, not soul
And the internet was started as the ARPANET long ago... nobody can own it.
Like, who owns the ocean? Nobody.

Well.... actually A country owns the sorrounding waters. Lets say if the U.S. Took over australia, china, japan, the other surrounding counrires and the islands.....They would own all of the Pacific.

Kevin Ham, the $300 million master of Web domains.
Was a joke.
The U.S. government's ultimate control of the Domain Name System results in substantial power over the entire Internet. Other countries object to this American dominance and demand that control of the Internet be handed over to the UN or the ITU. The United States could have a legal claim for control based on ownership because the Internet is, or was at least originally, an American thing, invented and funded by the United States. The paper examines such an ownership idea by applying property and intellectual property law on both the American and the international level. An examination of ownership is crucial because other approaches that could provide a legal basis for special power, like sovereignty, face problems because U.S. sovereignty ends at its borders and conflicts with the sovereignty of other states that are affected by U.S. policy decisions about the Internet.

I still don't understand how the internet works. Like, I know you make domains, and you can visit those domains with certain applications (Ie, Firefox, ect.) but like, Can someone explain it like thaty one dude tried, who was like "It's a series of Tubes". I don't understand WHERE the internet IS. It's like telling someone WHERE GRAVITY is.

Most likely a scientist that gets paid to discover the internets. Or a geeky kid in his garage who wanted to maintain his pornography from a distance.

Nope, he created and owns Microsoft.
The Internet is not 'owned' by anything or anyone.
