Chuck, Don't want to make this any worse, but we do the same thing at directNIC. If a customer charges back on us, they did not pay for the domain, I did. Not only did I pay the registration fees, but I paid the chargeback fees. So we take the domains and put them up for sale. If I could I would redirect them to some horse porn site, but the owners wouldn't let me. :)
So I do understand why register.com and godaddy confiscate domains.
