How do you know who is a "speculator"? When one registers a domain
name, it doesn't ask what your intended use is....

Even if we agree on a definition of "speculator" (aside from "he has
the domain I want, and won't sell it to me for $35"), in a capitalist
society, what makes such behaviour "illegitimate"? Last I checked,
Tucows/OpenSRS wasn't a registered charity, neither are most of its
resellers. Although I'm sure many of us do give to charity, from our
profits on other activities.

Sincerely,
