On the surface I agree; but, there are serious issues involved. If Verio's had a back agreement with Register.com and broke it, that could spell trouble for Verio. If not, it might be a good test of usage agreements. Register.com's usage agreement is pretty explicit about it, and since there is money trading hands, that is a contract and it sounds like Verio broke that contract.
