A Snag For Verisign's Suit Against ICANN
Dinglenuts writes "Looks like Verisign just received a setback in their lawsuit against ICANN. Verisign sued ICANN for making them take down Sitefinder, but the judge said that their case was 'awfully vague.' The extensive mischief caused by Verisign's new attempts at 'service' have been well documented on Slashdot."
Reader Mz6 points out the same AP story as carried by USA Today.
IANAL but ICANN doesn't give IPs, IANA does. So PTIYPASI. HTH, HAND.
"The extensive mischief caused by Verisign's new attempts at 'service' have been well documented on Slashdot."
A sad day for justice will come when rantings of us lab monkeys will be used as evidence in court.

Poor VeriSign! They can't hijack the internet anymore. :(
Non impediti ratione cogitationus.
The government regulates that where it is legal. Well, at least sexual prostitution. Political prostitution regulations are more of a inside joke. ;P

Hey!, I'm in a smartass mood today, WTF is wrong with "awfully vague?" It seems to work for the DMCA and a lot of other bogus legislation.

Don't worry, I just bought lkwdlgkhlhkgwq.com and I'm going to mirror the old sitefinder page. Just as a service to those who were missing it.

All of the defense's evidence is preceded by the phrase: 'I am not a lawyer.'
but just incase Yahoo gets slashdotted, there's always USA Today to hammer on next!
Hmmm.
but the average user dosen't know how to do that either
Average user? AVERAGE USER?? Blast it all, man! This is Slashdot! The "average user" has no say here!

That so-called evidence is actually goatse. I request that remark be modded down.
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
I always got a kick from typing things like "verisignsucks.com" and "sitefinder_is_satans_spawn.com" into the browser and watching SiteFinder come up as a response when it was still active. I hope they analyze their logs and get the message, though I admit that's unlikely.
I know, I should get a life.
"Also why should Verisign have the right to steal page view from Microsoft?"
And could they please pay the 36-to-power-80 * $10 for all the domain-names they gave themselves? And then pay tax on that purchase.

Please remove the lkwdlgkhlhkgwq.com domain, as it preys on the users of my site, lkwdlgkhlhkgwg.com. If the results of past cybersquatting cases are any indication, I believe I have a pretty good case

"the days of typing lkwdlgkhlhkgwq.com and GETTING Sitefinder was much worse!..."
Nevermind SiteFinder - I think the next time I visit lkwdlgkhlhkgwq.com I want the computer to just give me several loud beeps, because I just fell asleep and hit my head on the keyboard again...:)
I was in the park the other day wondering why frisbees get bigger and bigger the closer they get - and then it hit me.
dammit, they're using the soviet offense.
In Soviet Russia, the monopoly sue you!
You want to stop US influence on the web? Simply drop this ipv6 crap and implement "MetricIP".
The US will never meddle with that!
There's a town in Wales that's going to be pissed you bought up their name.
