Hmm... I'm not going to try to defend Verisign (or ICANN for that matter), but will note that the decision to engage in litigation is often not optional... In many areas of law, failure to act to diligently against infringement can effectively preclude you from pursuing legal recourse in the future. So, companies can find easily find themselves having to file legal actions simply to maintain their right to do so. Also, while drastic, filing suit doesn't preclude adults getting together and working out the the matter before anything makes it to court. It's legal action without any real meaningful attempt to meet and settle in advance which deserves a bad reputation. /John
