Court Orders Cybersquatting Company To Pay Verizon $33 Million

A federal court in the Northern District of California has upheld a December 2008 judgment which awarded Verizon $33.15 million in a cybersquatting case against OnlineNIC, an Internet domain registration company. The case is based on OnlineNIC's attempts to take advantage of Verizon and its customers by using names that are easily confused with legitimate Verizon names.
