> the .it domain is intended for Italian residents Do they have a TOS? Because there is a difference between 'intended' and actual rules. And by using those 'proxy companies' you're still breaking the rules but just being sneaky about it. > a breach of trust by the .eu registrar Really? So because they actually enforce their rules they are 'breaching trust'? You can't get away with breaking the rules so you just crawl into the victim role? Absolute nonsense. https://eurid.eu/media/filer_public/76/48/7648e621-0c5d-4c09-8bde-e5622cb6b23e/registration_policy_en.pdf https://eurid.eu/media/filer_public/76/48/7648e621-0c5d-4c09... In this first step the Registrant must verify whether it meets the General Eligibility Criteria, whereby it must be: (i) an undertaking having its registered office, central administration or principal place of business within the European Union, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein, or (ii) an organisation established within the European Union, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein without prejudice to the application of national law, or (iii) a natural person resident within the European Union, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein.

At the time of registering, all those eligibility criteria were met. It isn't unreasonable to let current registrations run their course.

  Not really. Trade agreements were also made when the UK was in the EU. It doesn't make sense to let them run their course either? Why so lenient? Choosing to leave a club that allows for certain things is ok, but it's inane to be outraged about not keeping those things when you leave.

    My passport says European Union on it, does that suddenly become invalid? I don't expect to be able to get a passport with EU on it for ever, I expect to able to carry on using the one I already have though. I'm sure there are many contracts negotiated between British and EU organisations, under EU law. Should those contracts be ripped up? Renegotiated under British law? That loan that a German company took out from a British bank under EU banking regs. Is that agreement null and void? Both parties lose even more if this turns into a petty tit for tat.

Sure, however you wouldn't be able to enter Schengen like you do now. You'd be a "third country national" and be treated as such. Instead of "European Union" it could say "Loves Pasta" and it'd carry the same legal weight. > I'm sure there are many contracts negotiated between British and EU organisations, under EU law. Should those contracts be ripped up? Renegotiated under British law? I'd guess so, since they were based on a different situation. They probably didn't account for a situation where there was no free-trade and such. > That loan that a German company took out from a British bank under EU banking regs. Is that agreement null and void? Wholly depends. They'd probably have to renegotiate the regs. > Both parties lose even more if this turns into a petty tit for tat. How is it a petty tit for tat? This is the reality of leaving the EU. I get the feeling brexiteers want all the pro's but none of the con's. It simply cannot work that way. "Why are they being so mean?", it isn't being mean. It's simply a consequence everyone could've known before this shit-show started.

      "We don't want member duties, we want out out out!" "Ok, here's a deal that still leaves you limited rights similar to membership ones, for far fewer duties." "We're not your colony, out out out!" "Sure, we can start from scratch, but you won't get any special treatment meanwhile." "What, no favors? Why this petty tit for tat?"

        Nearly half the UK population voted to remain. Its quite possible for the 52% to have a view (however incoherent), and I and the other 48% to have a differing view. If you want to claim that the UK and the EU won't be worse off if we get in to a petty tit for tat, then fine, we can have that discussion. Please don't start adding my comments into quotes I disagree with, and views I don't hold.
