Maybe go the other way: you have to pay the same 1-year price as for
the other registries but two and three year registrations are
discounted to the same price. Criminals burn through the names pretty
quickly, so a multiyear registration is not of value to them. That
would allow the marketing department their loss leaders without making
themselves as attractive to criminals.
