New IE Domain Promotional Graphics – What Do You Think?

It seems like they are employing scare-tactics to justify their inflated prices. Ooh look we’re “safer” than all the other gangsters out there who are trying to steal your money. They are preying on people’s fear.

The fact of the matter is, that .ies aren’t that safe at all. Their “know who you are dealing with” campaign is misleading, as anyone can register a business name with the CRO (without verifying their identity) and they will be automatically granted their .ie.

Also, since .ie transfers do not proceed via EPP/email verification, anyone can mock-up a business letterhead and poach a .ie domain.
Secure they are not.

If I saw the second one out of context, at first glance, before reading anything, I’d think it was for Irish Rail (not sure why, think it’s the font maybe).
the fourth one is just disturbing.
It’s also misleading though – the only verification the IEDR do is checking business names, they do n’t go vetting the people behind them!
