VeriSign insists it’s done nothing wrong, that critics are getting it all wrong.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

verisign is the company with the (trademarked) slogan “the value of trust.” they also have service marks on “security intelligence and control” and “security sets you free.” this illustrates the dangers of language and lawyers when it comes to corporations.<\/p>\n

gillmor notes (and many others have observed) that verisign is “a company that has such a record of crummy behavior<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

from here it’s all spin and language. site finder is not a service. it’s a profit-driven gimmick that only verisign could implement, and they did so without any regard for the implications. i’m not deep enough into this one to sort out the contractual arrangements, but after all my personal experiences with network solutions\/verisign, and all the history of “crummy behavior” – it’s time to find another option.<\/p>\n

the light<\/a> has shown verisign is not trustworthy, trademarks and slogans notwithstanding.<\/p>\n

icann – find another contractor. this one doesn’t play nice and doesn’t accept responsibility for its mistakes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
