True, but a conventional retailer has the recourse of reposession of the
product. In this case, by denying the reseller control over the domain
record, the wholesaler (OpenSRS) is telling the end user "If you steal
from our retailer, we'll protect you from him."
Further, by denying the reseller control of the domain record, OpenSRS is
making it impossible for the reseller to provide the level of service that
many honest customers want and expect.
