I realize this is just Woody and some guy pontificating late at night, however a more thorough answer would involve the cross-section of MLATs, Military assistance treaties, and global copyright agreements. I know a few people who are registering their domains in countries generally hostile to the US and EU and unlikely to sign an MLAT or any other agreement with businesses based out of either region. For example, if you wanted to start a cool new file sharing site, base it in Iran, Iraq, Cuba, Libya, Syria, Belarus, Zimbabwe, or Burma. This of course means you ignore the human rights issues with these countries. Otherwise you're left with .i2p, .onion, freenet, gnunet, and other alternate root domains like .glue, .pirate, etc from opennic. Or just register domains in many tlds with local in-country registrars and plan for a legal battle at each step of the way. -- Andrew http://tpo.is/contact pgp 0x6B4D6475 _______________________________________________ liberationtech mailing list liberationtech@lists.stanford.edu Should you need to change your subscription options, please go to: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech If you would like to receive a daily digest, click "yes" (once you click above) next to "would you like to receive list mail batched in a daily digest?"
