dmehus writes "A third lawsuit has been filed late Friday in a federal district court in California against VeriSign, Inc. over its controversial DNS wildcard redirection service known as SiteFinder. According to the article, it was filed by longtime Internet litigator Ira Rothken. In addition, while two other lawsuits have been filed by Go Daddy Software, Inc. and Popular Enterprises, LLC. in Arizona and Florida, this is the first lawsuit to seek class-action status."

    Register.com might be the next one to file suit, given their strongly-worded letter which was sent to VeriSign and ICANN.

    The Stop Verisign DNS Abuse Petition is still going strong, with 15,000 signatures. ICANN still hasn't had the sense to post it on their website, though. They have a public forum at the very bottom of the page here at least, with 64 comments (many from the petition site, as we're giving folks the option to forward those along to ICANN too).
