Now that Verisign knows how the sitefinder "service" was initially received, perhaps its next venture will be to offer ISPs a "No Sitefinder" service for a "small yearly fee." Verisign's servers will return a proper NXDOMAIN response to "registered" nameservers, and anyone that hasn't paid just gets the sitefinder IP. I'm sure everyone would be lining up to pay for that service.
On another note, I don't understand how one can "treat" a fictional character like anything. That implies an element of realism that simply does not exist.

That works, unless the company isn't real. I'm still not sure if any of you are real, either. ;P
A common tart, eh? Hey, you made a funny.
