 In some states, it is illegal to bill after a certian period. Since the
documentation available at the Internic site indicates that invoices will
be sent out prior to due date(referred to as the anniversary of the
registration date), I wonder about the legality of sending an
invoice eight months late.

If there are any known calss-action suits, please let me know.  I'll tag
my name on at this point.
