Bulkregister Sues Verisign Over Marketing Campaign

zentec writes "An article at Datacenter wire indicates that Bulkregister sued Verisign over their often confusing and pretty slimy mailing campaign. The campaign is (of course) targeted to domains registered somewhere other than Verisign. The mailings are nothing more than domain "slamming", and look like renewal bills rather than a solicitation to renew with Verisign. What's particularily slimy is that the mailings are for renewals on domains either recently renewed with someone else, or for domains expiring between 120 and 180 days! Bulkregister is also seeking an immediate injunction against the mailings saying that they are an impediment to current contracts with their customers." There's also a Reuters article, or see our original story. Bulkregister has run their own sleazy marketing campaign in the past, and paid the price for it.

I don't believe it!

Actually, I believe most of it.

I believe you saw the movie.

However, given the following:

1) Brags about having a contact who is a (gasp!) theatre employee
2) Brags about recompiling kernal (and specifies the tech details for some obscure reason)
3) Talks about "jury-rigging" a digitil theatre projector

... I don't believe he has a girlfriend. And if there were geek chicks that his friend needed help with, I'm fairly certain he wouldn't have been much help.

Oh, darn - there goes karma!
