"It was only a matter of time, the pundits said, and they were right.
Popular Enterprises, LLC. , an Orlando, Florida based cybersquatting
so-called 'search services' company, has filed a lawsuit in Orlando federal
court against VeriSign, Inc. over VeriSign's controversial SiteFinder
'service.' While PopularEnterprises has had a dodgy history of buying up
thousands of expired domain names and redirecting them to its Netster.com
commercial "search services" site, the lawsuit is most likely a good thing,
as it provides one more avenue to pursue in getting VeriSign to terminate
SiteFinder . According to the lawsuit, the company contends alleges
antitrust violations, unfair competition and violations of the Deceptive and
Unfair Trade Practices Act. It asks the court to order VeriSign to put a
halt to the service. VeriSign spokesperson Brian O'Shaughnessy said the
company has not yet seen the lawsuit and that it doesn't comment on pending
litigation."
