GoDaddy to help ICANN fight Site Finder

[aww]

GoDaddy has pledged up to $100,000 for legal bills to ICANN

GoDaddy said Tuesday that it will pay up to $100,000 of the legal bills that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) may run up through defending a lawsuit filed last week by VeriSign.

This may seem like a publicity stunty but IMHO, since the lawsuit most likely will end up in the courts, because of VeriSign's stupidity and greed, I give GoDaddy a thumbs up for financially defending our industry.

There must be some favors in the near future.

Well, all the more for them. GoDaddy has consistently stood up for domain registrars rights and domain owners rights in the past, so I am happy so see them doing so in this case.

Part of it is PR, spending 100K is nothing with the amount of PR godaddy is getting. They did the same thing last year
