.tv .TV Due Diligence

[Dr. Mindwrecker]

I understand some of the pain, but im hearing how some people read the article about Demand Media and within a few weeks were all hyped up on .TV and had the trigger on the debit card May 1st, with out knowing the ins and outs of the extension.

I cant imagine how someone can just spend 10 grand a few weeks after reading a few articles, and then when hearing about possible premium renewal fee's just assumes it is not the way it is, because you dont agree with the policy and think it does not make sense so it must not be true.

I always was under the assumption that the renewal fee's were going to be right around the buy it now price, and never once did I ever think different.

Due Diligence is required in your business decisions...

I think the language got people worked up as more and more people chimed in with their experiences and interpretations. The fact is that representatives from Demand Media have clarified why that language is necessary and that there is no intent to up the renewal prices to take away a domain name from its owner. The reality is that Demand Media does not control .tv renewal pricing so its necessary from a legal standpoint to provide for that language.

But you make a good point, due diligence is an important consideration that should never be thrown out the window. Ask a lot of questions and do a lot of research early and often.

Right. I agree. I was bothered from a business perspective that they didn't get the renewal situation resolved before launch but not the end of the (.tv) world.
