The problem here is that the community gets screwed not the guy paying 
$8.95. If he was getting what he paid for- well who cares. The problem is 
everyone else.

That said- even if domains were more expensive it wouldn't change anything 
for the phishers using their stolen credit cards.

There simply needs to be a better way for the community to quickly 
identify phishing sites- verified by some independent body (such as CERT) 
that can quickly verify the domain is a phishing site and alert the 
registrars to shut them down. Don't let it be used for copyright or any 
other non-sense complaint.
