"ICANN registrars practicing extortion"
Hint #1: It is far easier to move one's business and names AWAY from those Registrars. Vote with your feet.
Hint #2: No Nonsense Registrars that sell .COM and .NET names for $6 per year (at cost) have no profits to protect or people on staff running their extortion back-rooms.
Hint #3: Anyone dealing with law enforcement and the Internet typically finds that law enforcement suggests people disconnect, block the sites, and consider Hint #1. Registrars are protected by ICANN and the Internet Society. They always claim not to be involved. Pay no attention to those 50,000 names they have churning on servers in the back-room. Some Registrars are now in the unethical game of reserving/registering names, using them for 5 days and then throwing them back, to do it again a day later. They DO NOT HAVE TO PAY for names they are churning. Cute Huh ?
If you want sleeze, just head to ICANN.

Please spare me the hints. 1. Sure it's easier to change registrars than to be extorted. But it is you alleging extortion by registrars without providing any evidence. Nor is there any evidence that anyone else has made a credible claim to having this happen. Assuming registrars did do this, presumably someone would report it. I don't much care for many registrars, either their business practices or their service, but if you're going to anonymously claim that they are committing extortion without a shred of evidence, then it is no wonder law enforcement isn't interested. 2. I don't know of any registrars paying $6 per comnet domain name. If you do, please list them. 3. Of course registrars are using names as you say, and in other ways in contravention of ICANN rules, and of course ICANN will do nothing about it. But this is hardly some new development, it has gone on for years. If you are going to make such ill-informed comments it is no wonder you choose to be anonymous. -g
