Network Solutions Sells Out -- Domain Info For Sale

Lauren Weinstein sent us this about the latest edition of his newsletter on privacy: "Greetings. In the latest PRIVACY Forum Digest, I report on Network Solution's moves to sell domain registration data, domain activity information, and other goodies to direct marketers." Those of us with our names on a bunch of domains have plenty of experience with spam to those addresses... but it seems that maybe, perhaps, NSI is actually offering an opt-out method.

Yes, Put this on the front page

You might include the remarkably easy and clear (/sarcasm) opt out instructions that the article credits NSI with providing.
If you don't want to participate in NSI's bulk/marketing bonanza, you'll need to avail yourself (now that you'll know about them) of their opt-outs. Buried within their privacy policy it says that you can send notes with the text:

remove bulk access
or:
remove domain
respectively, in the subject lines of e-mail to:
privacy@networksolutions.com
with a list in the body of the message detailing the domains (for which you are the registrant) that you wish to opt-out.
