Verisign's Lawsuit Against ICANN Dismissed

Posted by michael on from the too-bad-so-sad dept.

emtboy9 writes "Internet domain name registry VeriSign just can't seem to convince anyone that redirecting misspelled Web addresses to its own site is a good thing. A federal district court judge on Thursday threw out VeriSign's legal arguments that ICANN's ban on this tactic amounted to a violation of U.S. antitrust law. VeriSign, which runs the master database for .com and .net addresses, had argued that its competitors had succeeded in stymying VeriSign's plans for its Site Finder service by providing advice to the board of directors of ICANN, or the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers."

    Seperate thoughts go into seperate paragraphs. If the paragraphs are undeveloped and short, then it gives the illusion that each though receives its own line.

    Haikus convey a single though across 3 lines. Plus, the GP doesn't follow the required 5-7-5 syllable pattern of the haiku format.
