It is hardly price fixing, since we are not the ONLY ones selling domains. As I said before you may even give away domains to your own webhosting customers, but I doubt it if we all agree that a minimum of say $20 is a reasonable price to non-webhosting customers, would be illegal.
People all around the world have been "agreeing" on prices and as consumers we have no choice but to pay. Just look at the prices of gas. Oil companies "agree" that they should maintain a certain profit margin and everybody goes along. OPEC members "agree" to raise the price by lowering supply and we still pay for it. It is not like consumers don't have a choice to buy their domains from non-OpenSRS resellers.
