The operation of the internet fundamentally changed last week, when Verisign implemented their controversial “Site Finder” service.

In the past, when you type a non-registered internet name into a browser you would get a system error message that was needed for various applications like domain checkers and SPAM filters. Now there’s no error message - you’ll be taken to an advertising site.
The implications of this are enormous - as it is a fundamental change to the way the internet operates.

Several lawsuits have already been filed over this abuse of Verisign’s powers. (They expect to earn several hundred million dollars a year from your mis-typed domain names)
