ARGH! Someone's swiped my logo!

+ When did that change. ...

A couple of months ago, a federal judge ruled that $35 was a reasonable
fee for necessary registration services.  I haven't read the case, so
I don't have the full rationale on hand, but I believe the judge applied
the implicit will of Congress in its various acts that the Internet should
be free of incumbrances that would inhibit development of the Internet.
Previously collected (excessive) fees are being held in escrow, I think,
pending clarification... Probably they will ultimately be returned, but
don't count on it.

college? Why go to night school? Thought I'd be different this time." -D. Byrne
