All SiteFinder, All The Time
The Verisign SiteFinder "typosquat"rhubarb continues.
John Berryhill makes the point on the INTA list that SiteFinder re-activates every domain name ever cancelled by UDRP or other decision.
The Registrars Consitutency of ICANN is considering moving to ask ICANN to ask Verisign to suspend the service.
The domain name VERISGIN.COM is for sale.
A search engine provider, Netster, has sued Verisign over the service.
The point has been made that the .MUSEUM TLD apparently utlizes the 'wildcard' technique utilized by SiteFinder and that ICANN had approved the technique.
My IT guy says "It's as if Avis modified its GPS so everytime you entered a wrong address, it gave you directions to a Sears store."
No comment from ICANN as of yet. SiteFinder returns this for www.whereisicann.com.
