[ga] NSI: "any domain name could be unilaterally cancelled"

[George Kirikos <gkirikos@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

For those following the SEX.com case:

http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/020716/fltu015_1.html

"Network Solutions repeatedly asserted in the District Court and in
other courts that domain names are not property and any domain name
could be unilaterally cancelled by Network Solutions at their will."

Is that Network Solutions the registrar, or the registry??!!??

And I thought the Divine Right of Kings philosophy ended a few
centuries ago....

Ironically, Gary Kremen keeps the domain SEX.com registered at NSI,
instead of transferring to another registrar who might be "safer", i.e.
has Registrar lock, etc.

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
