domain name mafia exposed!
Last January, I wrote about how Network Solutions stole my domain name. It turns out that I am not the only one who has observed this. You can say I’m quite naive, thinking I’m the only one who has noticed this scam.
Another article even discusses the trick pricing I complained about:
This allows Network Solutions to continue charging substantially higher prices for domain name registration. Network Solutions charged $34.99 to register the name sought by this suit’s lead plaintiff. A competitor would have charged $9.99.
Apparently, it’s not only Network Solutions who practice this evil scheme. I really hope the authorities penalize these companies to kingdom come. Thinking of a new and cool domain is no joke. I didn’t work for a whole day thinking of cool domain names for my blog and my other Web sites. If you ask me, they should pay at least $1,000 for every name they stole in favor of the person who made the name search.
Very interesting, but I think that you could describe the second part in more details … : - \
Yeah, you’re right. It’s just that I was busy working on something when I wrote this entry. I had to rush to publish this. I know it’s a bad habit. I’ll update this entry soon.
