Register.com Loses Class action Lawsuit

Anonymous Blowhard writes "I found out today I am a member of a class that just beat register.com in New York Supreme Court!! The suit was filed by Michael Zurakov because register.com pointed his newly registered domain(s) to 'coming soon' web pages. Mr. Zurakov receives $12,500 for the harm caused by register.com while members of the class can look forward to a settlement of $5 off their next domain renewals. Register.com will also pay 'reasonable Class Counsel attorneys' fees and costs in an amount not to exceed $642,500.00, subject to Court approval.' If you want to exclude yourself from the class, giving up any settlement and not being bound by its terms, you have to opt-out."

As a register.com customer...

That received the notice, I think the guy that filed the lawsuit is a dick. I'm sorry. Let me rephrase that I think the guy that filed the lawsuit is a DICK. A big floppy dick. How stupid is he? How hard would it have been for him to actually look into what he was purchasing? How much harm did them pointing his page back to their stuff hurt him if he wasn't even smart enough to know it was there? Meanwhile, I use register.com specifically for their webmail and spam blocking. I might get 1 spam a day and have never had a lost email. Their webmail is awesome. I'd kill to know what they are using for spam blocking. I know I sure as hell can't duplicate their system with my customers. I'm impressed enough with their service that I opt to pay them for it when I could set up my own webmail for free with any number of clients that I've done work for. They've never done me any wrong. I've been nothing but impressed with their products and their services for the past 3 years. The guy that filed this frivilous lawsuit should be ashamed of himself.
