VeriSign seeks Freedom to Abuse its monopoly, not Freedom to Innovate.
I'm glad to see that GoDaddy's Recall VeriSign [recallverisign.com] petition is back online, recently passing the 20,000 signature level. This is even more than the Stop VeriSign DNS Abuse [whois.sc] petition, which is slightly below 20,000 signatures. Combining the two, that's a lot of opposition to VeriSign's abusive intentions and behaviour.

In fact, today's decision frees VeriSign from the rather large burden of having to prove ICANN's actions violated federal anti-trust law.
Maybe I don't understand this lawsuit or the legal process, but isn't the "burden" that you mention one that VeriSign brought upon itself? From my (admittedly naive) perspective, it looks like VeriSign was throwing as many accusations at ICANN as possible, and seeing how many would stick. This is just an instance of a legal claim that didn't pass the laugh test; making it sound like a good thing for VeriSign smacks of spin-doctoring.

The lawsuit actually isn't the big story - VeriSign now is accusing ICANN of prejudice in its .net registry operator selection process. Details here [free2innovate.net].

If one does not make their case at the U.S. Federal
level, one should move UP[1] not DOWN. ICANN will be
headed for the mountains in Switzerland, far away
from California.
Verisign needs to publish the ISOC Card Deck
with the 55 Co-Conspirators** (who are all not
in California). You can not tell the players
without the score-card.

TRO launches board game aimed at U.S. regime change
In an effort to involve larger numbers of citizens in the discovery process that will lead to U.S. regime change, the Trade Regulation Organization has issued an educational board game called "Try 'em."
WTO news archives
In April 2003, the TRO determined that the U.S. governing regime was no longer consistent with world peace or prosperity. At that time, it issued a card deck in the hopes of paving the way to regime change and, eventually, large-scale war crimes proceedings.
Now, in the hopes of accelerating this process, the TRO is issuing a brand new card deck along with a game that can be played in groups of two or more.
