Stuart Lawley needs to return the 4.6 mil he stole from this industry - GoFuckYourself.com

Over 76,700 registrations for something that they basically "feared" people into at a cool 60 bucks a pop minimum, I've seen places that were 75 = $4,603,380

76,723 x 60 = $4,603,380

Not a bad payday for TLD extensions that have zero value and were basically strong armed out of fear that people would lose their top levels.

Give back the money pocket liner!

I thought registration was free, he just opened it up so people would register and he thought he could use it as a sign of support for the ICANN Board.

When .xxx was FIRST proposed, I simply emailed my registrar and asked them "when can I order .xxx domains?" and was told "If approved they will be available the next day on our website."

So I dont understand why people pre-ordered anything. Fear should never override common sense. Why don't they charge back, or if the money is "gone" already, sue to get it back?

if no one had to pay then how did they register them? i tried to register a name out of curiosity to see if they were going to tag on a bunch of extra fees with the registrations and it asked me for a credit card.

They don't deserve the money back. Would be nice to get the money from him though and give it to some charity.
