Are you abusing a database (and monopoly) you were handed and given the
task of maintaining for profit?
This may be a stretch, but isn't there a law prohibiting taking advantage
of a monopoly (registration services for .com, .net, .org, .edu) to help
in the entry into a new market (forcing domain changes to domains
registered through worldnic to be changed via worldnic, when this is not
required for any other middleman/domain registration/hosting services)?
