Registrants, for one. The principal improvement of the Waiting List Service
proposed last week is that if you buy a subscription, then you're certain to
get your desired domain name if and when it lapses.

There are no guarantees other than potential lawsuits unless someone decides they don't want their site.  

It is more like having to pay the mafia protection money for invasion of privacy.   They will even provide notification of any change on the records which would include personal addresses, phone numbers, etc.  Besides anti-trust and monopoly laws, and  invasion of privacy, it borders on conspiracy and  Interference in a business relationship laws of many states.  Wire Tap anyone ?
