The only reason they are holding the domain is to extract more money from the original registrant. To me, they appear to be hypocrites.

When you purchase a domain, you have a choice in registration, for .com's 1-10 years. In your account, and on the whois, it will clearly state when the expiration date is. GoDaddy will email you starting 90 DAYS prior to the expiration. If you don't renew, why shouldn't you pay? Try not paying your mortgage or car payment for a month or two? Tell them, oops I forgot. I changed my email and address and forgot to tell you. Think they will say, well in that case, forget the late fees? Also, when talking about customer service, don't forget GoDaddy is there 24/7 365 (and leap days too) to help people. Plus they have fantastic information on http://help.godaddy.com.
