Re: Network Solutions changes contract

Just a penny for my thoughts....

On the other hand, I own my home. But if I don't make the payments on it or
pay the taxes, it will be taken away from me.  Does that sound like
something I own?

This is kind of a sticky wicket.  I guess I don't own my home but I like to
think I do.

I believe I need to see how this is handled before I jump ship.  They all
could adopt the same "contract."

Just to add my 2 cents.  I think that a lot of people are overlooking
something here.  A domain name is much like a phone number and a lot like an
apartment.   You are leasing it.  If you choose not to renew the lease on
your apartment, well then you get evicted.  If you choose to stop paying
your phone bill, then they cut it off and somebody else gets your phone
number.  A domain is very similar in this respect.  If you don't renew the
lease on the domain after two years, anyone can get it.  Now does that sound
like a characteristic of something you own?  I don't think so.

I'm not trying make light of the branding issues involved here.  I just
think that everyone should look at this logically.

My 2 cents.
