but, devils advocate, maybe it's just there to scare off potential spammers/scammers?
Having worked at an ISP in security/spam/abuse, these people are a huge drain on resources.

- danShumway 7y agoSpeaking as a consumer, I'm kind of tired of companies giving themselves enormous amounts of power and then saying, "don't worry, we won't use it." That's not a professional relationship to me. And I would hazard a guess that if I tried to contract with EasyDNS and added clauses that gave myself similar amounts of power over them, they wouldn't be as trusting of me. The point of a legal document is to set explicit boundaries, not to set a "tone" to the relationship or scare off scammers. Setting tone is what your FAQ is for.
