We have the right to hijack your browser!

Or so says Verisign Recall how most of a year back, Verisign hijacked users who mistyped a web address and redirected them to their site? Now they are suing the the Internet oversight body ICANN for shutting them down.

So when Verisign's hijacking system fucks up (and it will) and re-directs a live site, and businesses could potentially lose money, then they can get sued, right?

Let us taunt them! They may become so cross that they will make a mistake! (Sorry, tired and out of medication.)

Ok, if they have the right to hijack my browser, then we have the right to hijack theirs. :) What do you think people, a little re-direct to scat sites? ;)

Time for the return of that nice BIND daemon patch... this time hopefully with a few fixes to correct the unintended side-effects of using it.
