Sure am glad I don’t have a case of terminal dumbness…who pays over $10 for a domain…sheesh.

NetSol may be hoping for as many domain credits as possible being used since as a result of their very high prices they still end-up making more profit per domain than places such as GoDaddy for example.

This is one more example of how so many of these big Class Action suits earn the attorneys a lot of money but the customers get basically nothing worthwhile from the settlements.

It should be noted that a lot of trademarked domains were searched during that time and NSI was registering them to profit from a potential illegal act under the cybersquatting laws.

Anyone trying to get NSI should remember this.

@ Todd : LOL

I still can’t believe NetSol tried to pass off their front-running as being in the interest of their customers… If I read the article right (6am here haha), seems like Netsol is the real winner here, coming out far, far ahead. I guess front-running does pay.. And pretty well might I add :(

…an’ if the history of these types of so-called “settlements” are any indication (and they are), NSI’ll end up paying out something less than 30% of the estimated maximums.

They ought to give back ALL the money they charged for these regs.

I agree Todd. Pretty lame settlement too imho. I actually got a copy of the letter today saying I was in the 4 day sub-class. It must have been during my bout with terminal dimness. Thankfully I’ve recovered. I sure don’t remember registering anything with them. Maybe there’s brainwashing involved too

$6 or $10 credits for domains that sell for $34.99 is essentially nothing since all but the terminally dim don’t pay more than $10 for new registrations elsewhere.
