I've worked behind the scenes for more than one of these outfits. I can tell
you that domain registrars are basically printing money. On the other hand,
I've also been the victim of domain hijacking. I can tell you that the domain
registrars involved were less than useless in reversing the obviously
fraudulent transactions. They basically said "Not our problem. Deal with it."
That's on top of the other obviously unethical practices by registrars, such as
seizing nonexistent domain names following a prospective buyer's whois search,
sluggardly unlocking of domains, etc.
Something had to be done. Now it has been.
To the registers whining about this change:
Not my problem. Deal with it.
