Thinking of buying a domain name? You may be interested to learn that at least one registrar will only let you lease your name, and also that you'll be signing different agreements, depending on which registrar you use. You might want to browse the Domain Name Buyer's Guide, a new site which rates the (directly-ICANN-approved) registrars according to both price and whether their contracts are consumer-friendly. (Incidentally, Chris Truax, the lawyer who represented Etoy in its domain-name fiasco with eToys, helped build this site.)
