MHO: If opensrs is now stooping to doing things to prevent users from using products sold by tucows, even if they move elsewhere, then you have lost sight of a few business ethics. (emphasis: MY opinion)
My other humble opinion: Javascript is a tool that MUST be used only to enahance a web site. If javascript is required to run a web site, said web site is broken. If you want to sell broken web pages... Your problem. Don't ask me to provide tech support for them.
