[plug] [OT] domain name registration

[senectus]

What really bugs me is that its MUCH harder to obtain a second level domain
than it is to get a first level domain..
Ie:
I needed nothing more than a Credit Card to register a .net but to get a
net.au I need shit loads of ID and business proof etc etc..

This really bugs me, companies registering every domain permutation
under the sun. 

IMHO, either you're a company or you're not, either you're Australian or
you're not, etc.

And don't get me started on inappropriate use of .net, .org, .au.com
etc...
