I just got this notice that a proposed class action lawsuit against register.com due to register.com had renewed my domains without any permission few years ago.
I can not remember what domains are and I have transferred them away from register.com long time ago.
A class action is starting now? it takes a long time to suit someone in USA?
Here are some contents of the email:
September 29, 2004
NOTICE OF PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT AND FAIRNESS HEARING
This notice ("Notice") is directed to certain Register.com customers who registered domain names prior to January 4, 2001 which were later automatically renewed. This Notice relates to the proposed settlement of a class action lawsuit ("Lawsuit") against Register.com, as explained below.
THIS NOTICE MAY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY
Please read this Notice carefully as you may be entitled to a refund of domain name renewal fees you paid to Register.com. To be eligible for a refund, you must meet all of the following conditions:
* You registered a domain name before January 4, 2001.
* Your domain name was automatically renewed by Register.com without your express authorization and your credit card was charged.
* You did not want the domain name renewed.
* You did not use (as "use" is defined in Section 3 below) the domain name in any fashion after it was automatically renewed.
* You have not previously received a refund for the renewed domain name.
Those who satisfy each of these criteria, which are set forth in more detail in Section 3, below, will be deemed "Settlement Class Members."
Register.com will be requesting the Court to approve a release that will bar all future class action lawsuits asserting any of the claims asserted in the Complaint in this lawsuit (i.e., claims that pertain to the automatic renewal of domain names registered before January 4, 2001). This release will not bar individual claims for those who do not request any refund under this settlement. If you wish to preserve any legal claim you may have against Register.com relating to the automatic renewal of domain names that were registered before January 4, 2001, and not have this proceeding cover you personally, you may choose to opt out of the Proposed Class as discussed in Section 5 below. However, remaining in the Settlement Class does not guarantee you will receive a refund.

I got that e-mail too. Haven't verified its authenticity as I don't recall having domains auto-renewed there (long time ago). To be honest, I think it's more fun to the lawyers than anyone else.
Profoundly influenced by #Bauhaus, @Nameslave unrepentantly embraces #Minimalism in his #multimedia portfolio. His early works include an experimental adaptation of Chekhov’s Cherry Orchard inspired at least partly by Robert Fripp. His totally irrelevant M.Ed. dissertation examines Organizational Culture and Change Management.
:smartass:
Any update on this one? Or has nobody else registered a domain name before January 4, 2001 with Register.com?
