Wikileaks Calls For Global Boycott Against eNom 137
souls writes "The folks at Wikileaks are calling for a boycott against eNom, Inc., one of the top internet domain registrars, which WikiLeaks claims is involved in systematic domain censoring. On Feb 28th eNom shut down wikileaks.info, one of the many Wikileaks mirrors held by a volunteer as a side-effect of the court proceedings around wikileaks.org. In addition, eNom was the registrar that shut off access to a Spanish travel agent who showed up on a US Treasury watch list. Wikileaks calls for a 'global boycott of eNom and its parent Demand Media, its owners, executives and their affiliated companies, interests and holdings, to make clear such behavior can and will not be tolerated within the boundaries of the Internet and its global community.'"

are there any other registrars that are not "evil"?

So there's no guaranteed way to determine who's "good" or who's "bad". Some consider cheap == good, others consider moral == good, while extremists declare ICANN == good. You have to decide for yourself.
As for me, I'll stick with eNom. Why? Because of all the registrars out there which I've examined, they have one of the best control panel interfaces for managing domains, and support WHOIS privacy for a nominal fee. Their domain prices aren't that great, but you get what you pay for. I went through 4 different OpenSRS-based registrars before saying "fuck this" and went with eNom. Oh, and I sure as hell ain't giving VeriSign (read: NetSol) my money.
