If you don’t like to lease domains that’s fine. The lessor cant just change the terms of the lease?
The issuing body for the tld, cctld would not care who the registar, registrant, nameserver, etc was if instructed by a court (17.6 T&C nominet)would do what they tell them…
In English law the leaseholder system has been going for hundreds of years …. In the eyes of the law the "owner" during the life of the lease is the lease holder you would have to be a idiot to think you could just breach the terms without being sued the arse off …. You would not have a leg to stand on…
You dont own the domain.... A registrant is the individual or organisation (e.g. limited company, partnership, sole trader etc) that registers a specific domain name. This individual or organisation holds the right to use that domain name for a specified period of time (two years for a domain name ending in .uk ). This person or organisation is the ‘legal entity’ bound by the terms and conditions of the domain name registration agreement with Nominet. Not exactly different to a lease....?
