As for being a sucker - I already pass the cost of renewing my domains to the American taxpayer :D So it doesn't matter if they go up 50 cents or 5 dollars a piece, it's a business expense to me.

Registrations were free. So why the rise in price? There is no need. It's been proven many times that the registries can run for a couple, three dollars. If you like being sucker than more power to you....but not me. I'll always fight any price raise above where we are now. You just made my point. Registrations were free. So why the rise in price?

The argument is not about monopolies but whether the 50 cent price increase is a serious matter to lose sleep over. And before that, registrations were free, so what is your point?

It's the same dirty situation today.
