I suspect what people have a problem with is the worry that "worldnic"
will get better, cheaper and more direct access to the unfair
monopoly called InterNIC - and also use its influence with other
national registries to acheive the same.
This sort of practice is considered illegal in most "western"
countries. Apologies for the cultural wide-brush here.
