In the case of Register.com, it looks like they are soliciting previous
customers. We received a notice the other day from them that listed about
ten domains that were originally registered through them but since
transferred to OpenSRS. I didn't think it was worth the effort to check,
but I'm assuming their TOS and/or privacy policy state that they can
continue to market to you after you are no longer a customer unless you
explicitly tell them not to--again, just a guess.
At least in this case, the notice states renewal and transfer at least twice
on the front page in normal type, IIRC.

If a client is lured into transfering to Register.com. Verisign, Domain
Registry of America, etc...
Do we have to allow the transfer to go through? I mean is there a way
that we can block the domains from being transfered out of our account and
into theirs? I think this would put a big damper on their solicitation for
new customers.
Secondly, where are these companies getting this information? I would
really like to know so that I may contact them and inform them to take me
and my clients off of these sold lists. This is bull$#!*
Thanks,

I had a call a few days ago from a client telling me that he received a
renewal letter from Register.Com - However, I told him not to worry about
it and to ignore it as I thought it was some kind of error. But, it seems
Register.Com is following the footsteps of the VeriSign idiots.... I am
going to post this renewal form on our site in the next 20 minutes or
so...(Just in case no one has seen it yet and would like to)
