Parked pages do nothing except waste Internet users' time (as it takes longer to realise that you're looking at a useless parked page than it does to recognise a "server not found" error). It's got nothing to do with the contractual right, and everything to do with being a responsible Internet participant. As such it's not an argument to be had between Tucows and its customers but between Tucows and Internet users in general. Parked pages full of keyword generated ads are not so far removed from email spammers in the negative impact they have on the Internet. These are my own opinions, and not those of my employers.
