Oh, I'd absolutely advise against it - but the branding people and the
lawyers typically think otherwise.
The case that gets a bit murky for me is genuinely multi-national

registering yourcompany.cc for every country where you have an operating
entity looks sort of legit.
(Yes, I've been asked to do this before.)

Oh, if there's the slightest hint of interest in learning, I'll explain
