ok, what about DoC & ICANN agreements w/ VSGN giving them
the authority to continue to register in and publish
the .COM and .NET domains? That looks like an entitlment to me.

Are you insinuating that COM and NET are "your" property?
Verisign has and continues to publish .COM and .NET zone data
twice each day that is marked with records that indicate
they, Verisign are asserting their rights to publish the
data in those zones. If you think that Verisign has stolen
.COM and .NET, then you should make your concerns known to
your legal advisors, DoC, and Verisign.
