I have spelled this out before, maybe not on this list.
In my opinion, the Registry Industry is probably the
last significant "industry" to emerge in this century.
It is most similar to the banking industry, the insurance
industry, and numerous other service industries which
only exist because people are willing to pay for services
that they perceive to be useful, despite what others think.

Those services include:

	Domain Name Registrations
	IP Address Leasing
	Digital Certificates
	Digitial Wallets
	Micro-royalties for Software Developers
	Micro-payments for Software Usage

With regard to your question about useless transfer of wealth
I suggest that this is your opinion and assume that you are
one of the lucky people that does not have to earn a living
each day and are likely in the minority. If you do earn a living
each day, I challenge you to describe to the folks in this forum
why your compensation is not also useless transfer of wealth.

Three words come to mind
