Who is they?
Do you think that the lack of requiring verifiable (didn't say verified)
identity information when registering a domain name has anything to do with
the ease with which folk can establish porn sites? I do.
there is a lot of talk about the "public interest" on these lists. The
public interest here has come to mean the rights of DN holders to not get
sued by the (pause for demonization effect) TM interests.
Another public interest that seldom gets advocated here is the right of the
public to be protected from porn sites which use the trademarks of others
to generate traffic.
Yes, an international treaty will mean something because then the mechanism
of enforcement will not be jawboning by NTIA but will be the law.
Richard, I'm not blaming you personally for the prevalence of kiddie porn
or bestiality on the Internet.
p.s. People like porn and no regulatory mechanism will prevent it. I have
no illusions that identity verification and other procedures would ever do
much more than slightly dent illegal activities of that nature.
