Petition to stop VeriSign's SiteFinder

The bastards at VeriSign have really screwed with the Internet when they implemented their SiteFinder service. Fortunately they are getting sued by a number of companies, including GoDaddy who filed suit yesterday.

There is also this online petition to ICANN to stop VeriSign and to punish them:

We hereby demand that ICANN immediately:

...

d) that Verisign be reprimanded for their monopolistic abuse of the DNS system, and return all audited gross revenues from their Sitefinder system to stakeholders, via a payment to the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) of ICANN in the name of the Non-Commercial constituency

Go sign the petition!
