It's worse, they'll be monetizing the traffic via their own
pay-per-click search engine. So, if a client does a typo of your
domain, instead of seeing a standard error page, so they can retype it,
Verisign will instead rewrite the error codes at the DNS level to
instead point to its own website where your competitors or others can
buy ads and take your business, violating your trademark rights.
