@gcvsa No i think i did, your take is a bit like being mad at tenants for wanting to *own* their houses. Saying 'renting' the domains is how it should be makes it sound like the registrars are a benevolent instance caring for the commons that is the limited dns space. Like they have a right to own domains in perpetuity, renting them out, creating, as you say, monopoly power. Sure individual ownership doesn't solve the fundamental problems of dns but the registrars really don't need to be defended as the good guys here.
