Re: [ga] Registrants

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

You both are demanding and dreaming of something that no one has earned. The 
huge corporations make money off the internet but pay for their seat.  The 
governments pay for infrastructure and whatnot, and preseumably represent their 
citizens. The consumer pays by entering into commerce on the Net.
Registrants provide nothing. They buy and use, or they buy and speculate.  What 
is it that gives them the rights they demand for free?
