    verisign needs to stop using its sitefinder because its against the law to do that to the internet users to redirect them to a buy a domain page. that is a monopoly because nobody else can do it. Even if others could, it would be still against the law because its not right.

    I hope ICANN sues them so i am not redirected anymore because its against the law.
