I can understand the motivation, but are you certain it's legal to
simply replace a DNS entry and point it to a page of your own choosing?
I'm not a lawyer, but in my opinion that'll expose you to some
potential liability. For example, if AOL had a beef with Amazon.com,
they couldn't just redirect all the amazon.com DNS to a page, with a
link to Barnes and Noble on it, too.

It might be legitimate to "black hole" them, i.e. make a null-entry for
that domain, so it doesn't resolve, but putting in alternative info
doesn't seem appropriate, to me. Of course, everyone should get their
own independent legal advice (I'm against what DRoC did too, but my
clients were unaffected, as they phoned me up and asked about things; I
have personal telephone contact with all of my clients, which the
higher volume RSPs probably can't do, though).

Sincerely,
