Legislation would let U.S. order domain names to be shut down anywhere in world
"If passed, the Justice Department could ask a federal court for an injunction that would order a domain registrar or registry to stop resolving an infringing site's domain name, so that visitors to PirateBay.org, for example, would get a 404 error." http://bit.ly/9AZDU5 (ars technica) I can't think of a better way to cause the rest of the world to accuse the U.S. of trying to play "Internet dictator" -- while simultaneously helping to foster the development of convenient addressing mechanisms not dependent on the existing domain name ecosystem. --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
