I just decided I want to order. I opened the "to order now..." link on that page, which says at the bottom "To Order Securely Online: Click on the "ADD TO SHOPPING CART" button above." Well, there is no such button. There are two broken images near the top of the page that clicking does nothing on. When I right click either of them and choose "view image", I get a "The connection was refused when attempting to contact a248.e.akamai.net." dialog. Akamai.net is an ad image server that my hosts file blocks.
You misunderstand Akamai. They're used by many large-scale on-line providers so distribute load geographically over large portions of the Internet. There is no good reason to block them.
If http://www.digitalriver.com/ is really Novell, why the phishing-style URL trying incompetently to get my money when clicking the "to order..." link on the subject URL?
Akamai has nothing to do with phishing. They're a legitimate business, as is Digital River, who act as a fulfillment house for many on-line retailers.
