The TOS might not be fair but it reflects that someone other than you owns the wires and boxes, and that you are beholden to them in all things so long as you wish to do business with them.
Businesses are not obligated to be fair to you unless the government says so.
Where administrators are gods of their personal fiefdomes and you have no say in anything unless you happen to own the wires or boxes yourself or are in the good graces of whoever does.
I agree for the simple reason that if they're hell bent on passing it come hell or high water we may as well let them have the cake they're taking from us at gunpoint.

YOu have exposed t heir desire to have their cake and eat it too.
They know damn well they'd be double dipping.
I'd say that anything requiring a subsidy is inherently inefficient if anything other than externalities are being accounted for.
What choice do we have when they all gang up on us?
Companies love being in bed with each other.
Some people like to follow the rules on principle and don't care if they'll get caught or not?
I assume you are talking about pink contracts.
Which is just another case where it pays to be corrupt.
It doesn't matter.
The registrar is the one who revoked the domains, so it's the registrar's decision on how or even if that decision can be appealed.
Only if they actually give a crap what spamhaus has to say later would spamhaus's word even matter.
It's called the law of "My box, my rules. Don't like it, take a hike"

Suck it up.
Why are your vendors allowed to have admin access in the first place?
That sounds like a HIPAA violation right there.
That's because they have no incentive to listen to you.
Report it as a HIPAA violation and stay anonymous (5th amendment implications for you downloading it yourself), and watch them get burned.
If the regulators don't even care, then give up.
The system may be broken, but it sure as hell doesn't belong to you.
When the player helped write the rules for the game I damn well WILL hate the player.
Or have you forgotten a little process known as lobbying?
Is there a hell though?
It may not get me karma but I still got a Comedian achievement.
Is it worth it?
Yes I do.
And as long as congress critters suck corporate dick I will continue to believe it.
So what happens if you have three companies, each of which owns half of the other's stock?
The japanese compensate you for your time in jail if you aren't prosecuted IIRC.
A nice compromise methinks.
More like congressman is declaring FTC not to be above the law.
Google earned its keep fair and square and the FTC is probably in bed with Apple and Microsoft.
There are PLENTY worse players to go after and attacking google is blatantly selective, and the FTC knows it.
The murder scandal got the project waylaid long enough that everyone else moved on.
Even if the stigma that threw banana peels in the way is gone, reiser4 is still far behind.
If it's open source, cannibalize it and take the features.
There is something called an insanity defense you know.
Also I seriously doubt prison capacity is a valid argument for anything relating to justice.
This.
The elite hold all the cards and by holding our careers hostage can pretty much keep us off the negotiating table.
Who will bother getting involved in government when they're already sweating blood keeping food on the table?
The law doesn't mean shit anyway.
They are designed to make everyone guilty, that way the elite get to pick who to prosecute.
Everyone's a criminal, but only those that piss off the elite get punished.
I agree for the simple reason that if they're hell bent on passing it come hell or high water we may as well let them have the cake they're taking from us at gunpoint.
The 99 percent protest was shut down by cops using FORCE at the request of the 1 percent.
So the elite are already prepared to use violence to trample our rights, they've proven by the 99 percent protest that they are willing to do so.
Strangely enough we tried that in the USA and it was nuked by SCOTUS as unconstitutional.
Just process the damn applications in order of submission already.
If that doesn't work, randomize it and be done with it.
This is turning into a farce because you are dilly dallying WHILE YOU ALREADY HAVE THEIR MONEY.
If I was one of the applicants I would be suing you for fraud by now.
