That seriously devalues MarkMonitor's services. MarkMonitor claims to be a "an ICANN-accredited registrar and recognized industry leader since 1999". The whole point of paying for MarkMonitor is that they're an expensive service for valuable domains and are not allowed to screw up. GoDaddy should not be involved here at all.

Well, another point of MarkMonitor is to get access to ccTLDs with requirements that are more difficult for you to meet yourself. Like needing to have a physical address within the country. MarkMonitor has offices in a bunch of countries just to meet that requirement, so they can sell ccTLD domains to customers.

The legality of that system seems a little questionable to me, but IANAL.
