popup? the thing that my browser always blocks. Yeah. How many people use their whois and have a popup block running. I spoke with Godaddy and sent an email to ICANN about it.

Isn't this illegal? Weasely as all fuck, but not illegal. Mostly because there's never been a test case but also because they're "open" about the policy and claim it's in direct response to customer demand. Here's the page with detailed information: http://about-networksolutions.com/customer-protection-measure.php See - it's not shady behavior forcing people to use them as a service; it's for our own good! One the actual registration page this is linked from "Network Solutions Protects you from FrontRunning!" box. Note that they DO ask if you want this - when you close the browser or leave their site. It's that incredibly dense, incredibly confusing JavaScript pop-up window that appears when you leave their site. My guess is that they enable the feature by default so that if you've blocked the pop-up or otherwise ignore it you've "opted in".
