here's a tid bit. ------- " The Internet Keyword registered and used by anyone shall not include such information as follows: 5. that disperses rumor, disturbs the social order, or undermines the social stability; " ------- Oh, that's lovely. So if i register a domain that makes references to the torture that's going on right Now in Tibet by the Chinese Army and secret police, my domain could be taken back because they construe that information as disturbing their Fascist policies in Tibet (disturb the social order.) http://www.drapchi14.org http://www.Tibetinfo.Net *Is the Chinese gov. gonna also have a say whether the actual content of the site is in violation of their rules and be allowed to kill a domain if they don't like the content? Did Tucows consider the political/personal ramifications of offering up these domains? By asking that question, i am not suggesting that it's a good or bad thing to offer these for sale... i gotta think about that one. Swerve http://www.cnnic.net.cn/cnaddr/e-4.shtml 5.
