Not necessarily. As long as they got paid the first time (such as by credit
card), I bet they don't even check the billing address. Spammers could
easily want to spend the $100 for one year's use of a name and completely
hide any contact with the organization. After a year (plus however long NSI
lets them get away with not renewing), they simply get a different domain
name.
