well... they do get some of it.

Niue gave away their rights to a company, which passed those rights on to the IIS without Niue getting to do a vote. i think they got some official to sign off on it but it was never a matter for the assembly there. they originally gave the rights in exchange for the company building out internet infrastructure on Niue with the proceeds, and that has been done.

Niue also agree they should not be the registrar for the TLD, since they don't have the capacity. so the IIS does do some of the work which needs money. the main issue in the suit is one of "transfer of consent" or something.
