This article I wrote looks at the general hypocrisy of blaming Verisign for doing something others already do with impunity. Not that Verisign is blameless, as I write in the piece -- they ran roughshod over the basic communitarian ethos of the Internet in other ways. But we should think about what we are blaming them for, which are the right reasons and which are the wrong ones.

Verisign Didn't Deserve This Spanking
The giant recorder of Web addresses sure sparked a fire when it redirected site-not-found messages to its own search engine. It's a bum rap
