It's not that hard to find the ratio of the appeal court judgment, it 
seems to me. But then, I followed the case in detail.


It appears to be:

"If domain names are property (which this court in rendering this 
judgment has not found it necessary to rule upon) then, by the 
admissions of both Judgment Creditor and  Third Party Garnishee (the 
Judgment Debtor not entering appearance), they cannot be property of a 
form that may be attached in the District of Columbia."

Or in short, "domain names may not be attached in DC".

It is authority for no other proposition.
