1. Comment - VeriSign Redirects Unused Domains

   Well, this is very interesting indeed.
   
   Does this mean that Verisign claims, legally, to 'own' the rights to all unregistered .com/.net namespace?

   Wouldn't this fall under the same legal ballpark as using your competitor's registered trademarks in your metatags -- i.e. it opens you to legal action by your competitor?
