You only have to go as far as the sex.com saga to realize that domains are not property in and of themselves, just something you are granted the rights to use in return for a yearly fee (a leasehold).

The registrar is much more like a landlord than a real estate agent, they don't sell and walk away, they lease, collect the rent, and make the sure everything works (and that things point to the domain servers we provide, etc). Both sides have some rights, both sides have obligations, and as a result both sides have the obligation to meet those rights.
Actually, you're assuming that I was assuming that it was MY region that mattered.

If they are like a landlord however, there are certain limitations placed on both parties, some say parties have overstepped, some say they have not. I'm merely trying to find out how it impacts my business with my registrar so I can continue or modify how I do business.
