==Domain Slamming==
in May 2002, BulkRegister sued VeriSign for domain slamming. <ref>[http://www.internetnews.com/xSP/article.php/1121321/BulkRegister-Sues-VeriSign-for-Slamming.htm Internet News]</ref> BulkRegister claimed VeriSign "engaged in unfair practices" with a recent marketing campaign that attempted to get domain owners to use VeriSign to renew their existing policy. In 2003, VeriSign was found not to have broken the law and as a result did not need to pay any fine. However, VeriSign have been barred from suggesting domain renewal or expiration prospects.<ref>[http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/09/25/verisign_slammed_for_domain_renewal/ The Register.co.uk]</ref>
