I am curious, redirecting inactive names is one thing, but hijacking a domain which has been purchased and simply doesn't have nameservers (But is still legally paid, in full) has to be a special case, and I'd imagine one that might be harder for Verisign to defend against in court, no?
1. Remove your domain name from NS
2. Document Verisign hijacking your traffic.
3. Join the class action
4. Share in the settlement (probably a $5 NSI registration certificate).
Those coupon or $5 off your next purchase, legal settlements, are bullshit.
Cash paid out by cheques by the offenders send a stronger message.
That whole register.com bs settlement is absurd. 5$ off your next purchase from the corporation that screwed you last time.
feh.
