The .BIZ "premium" scam

Summary

The .BIZ registry (neustar, neulevel) decided to declare some of the registered, owned .biz domains "premium" domains, and then demanded higher prices to renew them. This was without the vote of current .biz domain name owners. This was against our wishes. ICANN, once again, perenially in bed with unscrupulous registries, did nothing to protect the .biz domain name owners, and the .biz registry was able to steal some valuable owned .biz domains away from their rightful owners. Certain registrars did not accept to renew .biz "premium" domains at all, and that is one way the .biz registry was able (so far, the courts will be deciding this one) to steal away owned, branded, property - a domain name.
