Sorry didn't mean owns, was not thinking straight, but ICANN is a US corporation as it is based/headquartered in the US.
Wrong again. ICANN is not a US corporation. It is a global non-profit organization with representatives from several countries. Secondly ICANN still has no technical or legal ability to seize domain names. That still remains and will always remain the prerogative of the domain name registrar.
After all, the internet was developed by DARPA, an agency of the US DoD. To the inventor belongs the spoils.
Wrong. The internet as we know today came into existence after the invention of the world wide web by Tim Berners Lee at CERN. What you are mistaking as the invention of today's "internet" is the communication network invented in 1968 when DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) made contracts with BBN (Bolt, Beranek and Newman) to create ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network).
