That is, from the point of view of the parties to the contracts on 
the lower end of the food chain, the UDRP behaves quite precisely 
like a law: The parties can't change it, but public opinion 
(legislative body) can.

Thus, arguments along the lines of "it's all contract, not law" and 
"you don't need to register a domain" may be correct in a very 
formal sense - but they don't catch the substance of what's 
happening.
