Simon Brooke@koalie and you pay a remarkably large sum for something which costs astonishingly little to service.
Gemma ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭 🎐@koalie AS IT SHOULD BE.
DNS space is inherently finite, and constitutes an artifically-created monopoly power.
What makes you think you have any right to own any part of it in perpetuity?
lou.@koalie I don't think you've understood the question.
No i think i did, your take is a bit like being mad at tenants for wanting to *own* their houses.
Saying 'renting' the domains is how it should be makes it sound like the registrars are a benevolent instance caring for the commons that is the limited dns space. Like they have a right to own domains in perpetuity, renting them out, creating, as you say, monopoly power.
Sure individual ownership doesn't solve the fundamental problems of dns but
the registrars really don't need to be defended as the good guys here.
Patrick H. Lauke@koalie is this your way of telling us you accidentally let w3.org lapse?
