I love how they're based out of Cyprus. Has anyone verified them?

You apparently signed a waver saying you accepted this process[2], verfication from id.music: https://www.id.music/ starting on the webpage: https://verify.music/ (via Porkbun[2])

> - Starting April 1, 2026, newly registered .MUSIC domains are immediately active for use. Domains registered before this date will be placed on serverHold until verification is completed.

> - Private registration is not allowed due to the Music Verification policies.

> - The Music Nexus policy remains in full effect; you must complete the simple Music Nexus Checkbox during registration.

> - The registry will send an email to registrants about identity verification at ID.MUSIC.

> - Though verification is required, registrants have up to one (1) year from registration to complete the verification process.
