I don't see anywhere they were given the right to use their stewardship to try to make money selling typo eyeballs. (And note that unless you do something *really* ugly like round-robin the wildcards, only one organization can do this per TLD - so they're essentially abusing their monopoly). So the question boils down to: Are they owners of .com, or merely caretakers?
