I use a.biz domain to host the web services for our application, and we send out download confirmations for our demo program and such through that domain. It's all automated stuff, but not spam (the confirmation contains the demo password, support info and such). You get one message if you download the demo.
You notice the.biz thing because there are a lot fewer of them. Most of the domains I wind up filtering are.com, not.biz. With your filter you would download my demo and never receive the activation code.
But it's true, I don't know of anyone hosting a general purpose site with.biz. People don't think to look there after.com,.net, and.org. While I send legitimate email from a.biz, I rarely receive it, unless it's from my own server (admin messages come through it as well).
Since this thread has turned more attention to Stella and less to SCO, I thought you might find this link interesting (if you haven't seen it already): The Stella Awards "The Stella Awards were inspired by Stella Liebeck. In 1992, Stella, then 79, spilled a cup of McDonald's coffee onto her lap, burning herself. A New Mexico jury awarded her $2.9 million in damages, but that's not the whole story. Ever since, the name "Stella Award" has been applied to any wild, outrageous, or ridiculous lawsuits -- including bogus cases! We search for true cases, and you can subscribe by e-mail for free to get the case reports as they're issued."

Here's hoping he can make up some more problems to "solve."
Why is this news? I'm seeing it all over the web. Apple can charge whatever they want. If you don't like it, buy something else.
They said no.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I did.
I believe they started out by suing Microsoft over Windows look and feel... and losing.
When they find out Shakespeare already wrote all that stuff...
All of those CD's are already in my collection. :(
