Re: [ga] price policy


Hi.

I am just re-sending a message that businessmen have told me.
But your example is not quite right.
For several reasons: legitimate registrants could still register their domain name at $ 6 / year. Or a little bit more. Now, if you tell me that people with half a million domain names are legitimate, I'd agree with you, but for them the price increase woud mean they have to change their business model. Or the PPC companies will change it, as soon as they think of a way to deal with these fake sites.
In any case, comparing spam to murders is somewhat over the edge. What about spam mail that you get in your mailbox? If the stamp, envelope and the letter were altogether 5 cents, you'd probably be getting much more mail.

Hi Veni,

The argument for increasing domain prices to reduce spam is the equivalent
of saying that prices for knives should be increased to reduce the number of
murders. Far more legitimate registrants than spammers would be negatively
impacted from such changes.
