Well, yes, Leo but those are governmental agencies serving a public
purpose funded via tax dollars. 
Are you proposing that registrars be tax-supported?

Milton : There are existing circumstances where processes are put in
place at no additional charge incurred by the person requesting for
information. For instance, information about trademarks can be freely
accessed via the relevant national patent and trademark registries and
such information usually covers ownership, contact details, date of
registrations and other useful data. The process is easy, access is
unrestricted and there is a high degree of accuracy - all at no charge.
