Forbes.com: VeriSign sued over controversial Web service
Topic: Internet Civil Liberties 9:05 pm EDT, Sep 18, 2003

] An Internet search company Thursday filed a $100 million
] antitrust lawsuit against VeriSign Inc., accusing the Web
] address provider of hijacking misspelled and unassigned
] Web addresses with a service it launched this week.

Push their asses to the wall!

But wait, check out this quote ::

] VeriSign spokesman Brian O'Shaughnessy said he could not
] comment on the lawsuit because the company had not seen it
] and does not as a matter of policy comment on pending litigation.
]
] He defended the company's new service, saying it was helping
] people find Web sites instead of sending them down a digital "dead
] end."
]
] "Twenty million times a day on our network, people mistype domains
] and don't get what they're looking for," he said.

***OUR NETWORK*** Who's network!? My ISP isn't resolving domains to your service, so I guess its not your damn network then, is it? Bitch!
