What an unethical move, they rescind already paid contracts/accounts and the price hike is insane. The went from "no BS" to full of it.
I intend to move all my domains. I also paid for the "premium" email service. But it went from 25€ per year to 86€ ! Domains are also getting a price hike and web hosting too. Time to move
That aside, they're fine.
When registrars requires users to divulge their private information, they become bound to fight tooth and nail to protect it for as long as they retain it.
Screw INWX for betraying their customers. Screw them.
"Your data", like what? The domains you own and their full whois entries?
> with no obligations not to notify me
While this might be true, they might have seen a risk in notifying you (at least while investigations were ongoing), consider e.g. https://dejure.org/gesetze/StGB/258.html
Also, how did you come to know about all this? Who notified you in the end?
Single domain in, WHOIS data out.

I have a copy of the correspondence from Bundesamt fuer Justiz.

The cops questioning me did. I was actually under investigation for a different thing related to this website, so my lawyer got them to confirm it was indeed possibly related. They then dropped that investigation immediately, after months of nothing being added to the file (which I also have). While holding a pretty substantial bit of my hardware hostage. Weird how police work can be expedited when charges are obviously based on police not understanding how the internet (and Paragraph 10 TMG) works and they need to get something done for BfJ. Or maybe they did understand, but didn't want to afford those protections to an individual without commercial interest.
Mind that this was about 10 years ago by now.
A .re domain is €14.28 with Gandi and €43.99 with iwantmyname.
