Network Solutions sued for domain tasting

marco:

(…)

    You can test it yourself:

    1. Go to Network Solutions and search for a domain name that’s unlikely to be taken. Mine was networksolutionsdomainscam.com. Sure enough, it’s available!
    2. Go to GoDaddy a few seconds later and search for the same domain. Now it’s taken.
    3. If you’re a geek, run a whois on the domain. Network Solutions owns it, and there’s a big message in the whois info saying “This Domain is Available - Register it Now at www.NetworkSolutions.com”.

    It’s a scam, plain and simple. It’s certainly fraudulent and deceptive, and absolutely nobody in the web business will take pity on Network Solutions for this.

     Wtf.
