excerpt:

A ruling Tuesday by a Manhattan appeals court could clear the way for a class 
action lawsuit against the Internet's second-largest domain-name registration 
company for its past advertising practices. 

The suit, filed in state Supreme Court in Manhattan, alleges that 
Register.com, which registers domain names for a $35 fee, misused the 
Internet addresses of new customers by redirecting those links to a "Coming 
Soon" Web page until the customers developed Web sites of their own. 

The "Coming Soon" page contained advertisements for Register.com and other 
companies.
