This planned renewal hike is absolutely TYPICAL of everything USA. They set up long-term extortion rackets to grab every cent the world has to offer. USA is becoming a PARIAH NATION. The urls I register, I paid for, I invented and I keep funding just to leave on a register for my own purposes where THERE ARE ZERO ACTUAL COST even slightly justifiable. Then the damned USA parasites rip everyone off again each passing year. Money for jam. This latest massive registration price hike is a SCAM and CANNOT be justified in any way. The entire Icann system would easily be profitable at even $5.00 per url every year. Millions of repeat fees every year for free IS A GIFT. Icann now stinks about as badly as the Amazon rip off system where worldwide online USA monopolies force foreign buyers to pay USA taxes on remote, non-USA sales. THIS IS WRONG & IS THEFT BY USA. ALL USA monopolies are working an extortion racket against other nations AND THIS NEEDS TO BE STOPPED.We all know the entire decision about increasing USA extortion will be determined by USA people alone, so we all know these extra extortion fees WILL BE STOLEN WITHOUT BENEFIT, from all domain owning victims. I just wish the guy that invented the Internet had had the sense to hang onto the title deeds so grasping bums could be slapped inline. Had enough of this vast corruption and cash theft called America. _____ I am using the Free version of SPAMfighter <http://www.spamfighter.com/len> .
