Precedence does not make it "right". I don't fully understand the legalities of it (Ross would have to explain - Ross?), but I believe Register does not take control of the domain (i.e. they don't assume ownership and sell to soemone else). They simply "hold" it, if it's not paid it stays on hold until the day it expires (then it goes up for deletion)
