That would set quite a precedent.

Anyone is free to point a domain at a server and serve HTTP, in the sense that they are allowed to buy a server, domain and maybe software- in order to have a website.

A fair comparison could be done for a pamphlet or a book- you are free to pay a publisher/ printing press/ editor- in order to have a pamphlet or book.
