NSI does not own the root domain .com .org .net or any other TLD.
They were *hired* by the NSF to manage the registration of domain names
for these TLDs, and they have done a  deplorable job.  They are now being
fired, if anyone is opening themselves up for a class action suite it is
NSI for not relinquishing property that they have no legal right to claim
as their own.

Sheese!!!

I wondered back in '78 how no-nothing dim witted liberal arts majors would
ever find a way to make money on the Net, now I know... They all became
Lawyers.
