ok, I did not have that background on this particular one.
However, even with the paid there had been recently a posting of
someone registering thousands of names (however not of widespread
commercial use that one, it was all under the belt line).
The point I wanted to raise is, that INternic is asking money for
registration of names, not for the registration act.
If I would want to register 200 names, I pay 200 names. We had the
discussion here on what to do with copyrighted names. See Pluto: planet
or Disnay character, let Nasa (guess tehy have pluto) and disney fight.
Well, they won't. And I guess the consensus was that domain names are not
infringing with registered trademarks (I can call my dog goofy without
paying disney a royalty, or am I wrong there?).
Now we have one to show up and barter names, like the scheme: I register
what Unilever wants before them and sell it back. Big deal to me, may he
be happy. However, a corporation could (not here of course) decide that a
definitive termination measure for $30k is cheaper than talking to the
individual ( ;-] ).
Shouldn't we here see how we get our act together, e.g. peering (why in
this community are there people not peering, putting up 'rules' etc, when
peering would just make everyone happy since the routing landscape is way
simpler when there are lots of direct links), and of course, the same
always: instead of creating unnecessary friction to put into the address
allocation mechanism a measure to satisfy building up ISP/NSP businesses.
I agree that there might some people need more restrictive routing, but
restrictions must always be implemented in a way not to create injustice
or even only extra problems.
