I see your point and agree to an extent. Making money off anothers' misfortune is bad.
  But I do not know that we can regulate morality. I like the voluntary (and presumably charged for) services of reminders.

I think it is sleazy to make money from involuntary expirations.

It feels like finding and keeping lost property. To use a system of 
"finding" is o.k., but if the owner of lost property shows up at your 
whois, you don't charge him $1000 to get it back.
This is the common sleaze that registrants complain about.

Re-registration within 45 days should require explicit approval from the 
last registrant.
Just a small safeguard to strengthen registrant rights and make Domain 
Names that much more valuable.
