does the "Internet" (WWW) belong to somebody in particular or to some sort of company?
Who decides if i can open a web site or not?
who does the money i pay for a domain go to?
And who in the world put them in charge?????
Does anyone understand...
First - You can understand the logic behind the World Wide Web - from it's name.
It belongs to no particular entity - Human/Company. The whole WWW is completely everybody's Intelectual Propriety but Specific web sites/applications/content/publications and so one are the IP of specific entities.
You can open a site exactly as you can decide to publish a book - but the difference is that you need a publisher.
The only thing you do need is a storage place to store the contents of your web site - it can be your domestic computer and it can be a hosting company.
As I said before - Nobody is in charge so actually nobody put them there...

The term "World Wide Web" refers to all of the publicly accessible websites in the world, in addition to other information sources that web browsers can access. These other sources include FTP sites (an older way of transferring files), UseNet newsgroups (once the most popular way to post messages to public forums on the Internet), and a few surviving Gopher sites.

The World Wide Web is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a web browser, one can view Web pages that may contain text, images, videos, and other multimedia and navigate between them using hyperlinks. Using concepts from earlier hypertext systems, English physicist Tim Berners-Lee, now the Director of the World Wide Web Consortium, wrote a proposal in March 1989 for what would eventually become the World Wide Web. He was later joined by Belgian computer scientist Robert Cailliau while both were working at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. In 1990, they proposed using "HyperText ... to link and access information of various kinds as a web of nodes in which the user can browse at will",and released that web in December.For More Information http://windows7.iyogi.net/
