this topic was about "breach of trademark" and "trademark infringement" in conjunction with the use of domain names, particularly those that "do-not-exist". The query result to the user is identical while understanding that the path from point A to point B functions entirely differently. I will admit that if MSN search did not have something like 80%+ market share, the effect to trademark owners would not be as material...sort of like how .com has 80%+ market share except where the latter is being well protected.

In addition to other differences pointed out between MSN-Search and SiteFinder, insofar as the trademark differences go there are SFAIK no trademark laws or rules governing what any browser might choose to do with its URL line, but there are laws (EG: Zuccarini) and rules (EG: numerous UDRP decisions) regarding typosquatting. OTOH some of the technical arguments against SiteFinder (EG: breaking anti-spam software) could as easily have already been used against .cc, .tv, .museum and a number of others who are, or were, doing this, some for a number of years. I dislike VeriSign as much as anyone, but I think some of these arguments are just bashing for the sake of it. -g
