[ga] Laugh of the Day: WLS Statements by SnapNames


Hello,

Here's a link to a statement by one of their executives at a Senate
hearing:

Pretty bad piece of spin. I leave it as a simple exercise for others to
pick it apart, once they stop laughing.

I don't think SnapNames and Verisign appear to "get it" -- WLS is
facing opposition to the plan amongst very *informed* people, who have
a big stake in the outcome. If it was otherwise, proponents of WLS
would be able to pick apart the arguments quite easily.

Their arguments aren't even "innovative" -- they simply borrow our
arguments and keywords, e.g. anti-trust, and attempt to spin them
against us, unsuccessfully. High school debating tactics don't cut it
in the real world -- you have to do a lot better.

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
