The problem here is that the community gets screwed not the guy paying
$8.95. If he was getting what he paid for- well who cares. The problem is
everyone else.
That said- even if domains were more expensive it wouldn't change anything
for the phishers using their stolen credit cards.
There simply needs to be a better way for the community to quickly
identify phishing sites- verified by some independent body (such as CERT)
that can quickly verify the domain is a phishing site and alert the
registrars to shut them down. Don't let it be used for copyright or any
other non-sense complaint.
