Equally as the .EU registrant at the time, to show their connection with the EU, registrant shouldn't have an expectation that this club perk will last upon their country's exit from the club.

Terrible comparison since you rent a domain which becomes your posession but never your property.
I think that one can safely say that the pains of Brexit will be much greater than the non-possibility of renewing around 300 000 .eu domains.
sunk, getting a bit to political.
Brexit is all about politics :-) such surprise.

Tired Threads
These threads are either played out (nothing new to say) or tend to generate more heat than light. Think carefully before wading into them.
This had a chance to be more about the domain side of things, perhaps it was optimistic to think that could happen, given that this thread has been reported a number of times now, it is sunk, you are welcome to continue, it will not be bumped up though.
edit: Still interesting either way.
Fair enough.
At least for me, the problem was that the article (in the Register) cited by the OP was needlessly dramatic/hysterical to begin with.
Yep, I mean its not an aggressively night vs day political thread so it can continue, just for those that are interested it will sink so those that are not do not have to deal with the walls of text
Not really. In Hong Kong for example, all land belongs to the government and people just lease it. This despite HK having the most expensive property in the world. Besides, once you have a domain, its not treated as a leased asset, but actually in many cases like property. They are bought and sold, and rights to domains is very much like rights to property.
In any case, I already said they are NOT the same, but they are not totally dissimilar.
Edit:
I forgot to mention that most flats/apartments in the UK are also leaseholds, so again similar.
Just become an e-Resident of Estonia and set up a company in Estonia. Job done.
I have mixed feelings about this subject but I can understand it from the EU point of view. It's not a big deal though. Just use a trustee service and be done with it.
After brexit, brits no longer fit the criteria, just like Japanese or Americans don't fit the criteria now.
It's not vindictive at all.
As the article explains, it's not usual practice. TLD eligibility rules change all the time. Normally, when there's a change, people who got in under the old rule can keep their existing domains even if they become ineligible to get new ones.
