Verisign Typosquatter Explorer

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the something-to-think-about dept.

jelyon quotes Seth Finkelstein's website "I have written a program " Verisign Typosquatter Explorer" in order to examine [the Verisign] suggestions [for mistyped domains]. Future data may be analyzed as interest permits. Note tests with some domains seem to return results which are not constant, i.e. differences when the program is run repeatedly. This is not a program bug. Reloading the Verisign page also changes which squat-suggested domains are displayed. I don't believe it's an advertising rotation, but the behavior is similar to that practice."

    None of this patent crap, none of this copyright bullshit

    Well, neither patents or copyright are properties of the Internet. How are you going to acomplish this? By using a disclaimer/eula? "By connecting to this network you agree to give up the rights of copyright/patents of anything that you post here". Or maybe disallowing patented or copyrighted works on the new net?
