Judge Slaps Registry For Misleading Name Games

soupa writes "Register.com filed suit against Domain Registry of America in August, alleging that the Buffalo, New York, firm targeted Register.com's existing customers and led them to believe that the two companies were affiliated. Now a Federal judge has ordered Domain Registry of America "to stop telling Register.com customers that the two companies were affiliated." Sounds pretty straightforward. "

Funny, Register.com does the same thing...

This article reminds us that register.com has done similar things in the past.

I received at least two or three very deceptively worded domain renewal slips from them when my domain was registered though someone else.

Eventually I think that the FTC made them make "Transfer and Renew" much bigger (it used to be that "Renew!" was really big and "transfer" was basically in the fine print. In addition, the return address and the buniess envelope did not say "Register.com" on them.
