There's no "fradulent" registration of domains.  Domains point to IPs,
whether those be dynamic, home, business, or whatever.  As for the TOS
violation, that all depends on the ISP and his terms of service with them.
My company has public IP addresses that resolve to Comcast because we
contract our backup Internet service through them.  We are in no way
violating any TOS by using them or registering DNS entries to point to
them.

You might want to step outside and take a deep breath before you accuse
people who are trying to add value to the community of illegal activities.
