But again, it isn't the registrar that should be blamed, unless of course the domains are being registered with stolen or forged information and credit cards..
The thing is that in that ecosystem, the only one who has a hope of knowing who the registrant / customer is, is the registrar.
Registries have to offer the same terms to all registrars, including access to the same prices. It’s safe to asume that if a registrar can sell you a name for $1, most other registrars also can. However, when you study abuse per registrar (on the same set of TLDs) you see there’s a very large difference. My conclusion is that some registrars are doing something else, which causes abuse to go elsewhere.
This is my favorite counter-argument for claiming that low prices are the root of all evil :-)
