I'm still searching for the exact name of the copyrighted method they use, however I do know that you are qualified by your physical address, not the address to wherever you would like your bill sent.

In no way did I mean that to be construed as E*-bashing. E* has complied with current DNS qualifying since around 2002. However, the court says that because they made a little screwup before that, starting around 1998, E* should pay the price. They were in the good at the time of the ruling but...
