Demand Media Partners with LegitScript over Domain Registry Concerns 

By Demand Studios Review Editorial

Posted On 9/19/10:

As I recently reported, Demand Media has been under fire lately due to their domain registry arm, eNom, playing host to an alarmingly high number of malicious websites.

Primarily, those websites were cited as pharmaceutical companies which were breaking eNom’s own terms of service. They have now agreed to partner with LegitScript LLC, a company that monitors online pharmacy operations. LegitScript logo

LegitScript made information available to Demand Media some time ago and asked them to address the issue. They now seem to be doing so, entering into an agreement with one of the main players calling them to task for their lack of policing efforts.

While Demand Media certainly should have gotten on this issue sooner, it’s good to see them taking action now. It should also make their meeting with the White House to discuss the issue a bit less awkward.

The meeting is set for September 29th and will include representative from ICANN (The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), Demand Media and other domain registrar companies thought to be hosting questionable or malicious websites.
