NSI Registers Every Domain Checked

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday January 8, 2008 @07:31AM from the that's-why-they-are-the-front-runner dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In a developing story, registrar Network Solutions has been caught front-running domain names. Any domain names searched via NSI's whois are being immediately purchased by the registrar, thereby preventing a registrant from purchasing the domain at any other registrar. There are multiple reports of this practice over at DomainState.com." Update: 01/09 01:58 GMT by KD : shashib writes to let us know that NSI has issued a response to the accusations of front running.
