This has to be a nightmare for ICANN. Verisign has deep pockets and lawsuits can burn a lot of cash very quickly. Verisign ran Sitefinder long enough to establish how much money it made, and now it's been shut down long enough to run up an enormous amount of "lost revenue". If ICANN loses, the actual damages could be staggering.

I'm not a big fan of ICANN or Verisign and I'm not even sure how I want the story to end. But whichever way it goes, the Internet will never be the same again.
