CDR: Applying California law to ICANN

It may well be that political activists discover this whole ICANN thing and realize they have a golden opportunity to have California laws applied to black/delist sites they dislike, organizations they think are racist, etc.
The Southern Law Poverty Center, the Simon Wiesenthal Hate Center, and other ZOG-controlled commie organizations will likely be going into overtime.
DNS and the root servers are a single point of failure in the global Internet, and one that is easily pressured to delete pointers to speech that is deemed politically incorrect. It wouldn't surprise me in the least, if in the near future, sites deemed to be monkeywrenching the system wind up having to be addressed by numeric IPs, and even having their packets derouted. The Simon Wiesenthal Center's plans for the First Amendment can easily be seen in other countries, where they support the arrest and jailing of individuals for even suggesting that God's Chosen People might sometimes act collectively in their own enlightened self-interest. The US Government's plans for the First Amendment can be seen by the fact that they honor arrest warrants issued by foreign countries against such "speech criminals," and make arrests of foreign nationals for such "crimes" within US borders. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.

It can also be an excellent single point of DoS attack for hacktivists. A few days of DNS unavailability and poof go most of the ISP caches.

This is a compelling reason for promoting the widespread use of censorship-resistant peer-to-peer systems such as Mojo Nation. Although MN URLs now supports only location-based identification akin to IP addressing, name-based addressing is under development. --steve

Given the current impetus behind file sharing, I sort of think someone will come up with a way of managing completely decentralized directories well enough before long. I certainly have been tinkering with the idea. After that, all that is needed is a rewrite of DNS on top of such a service. Not nice, but useful. What is the current state of the art in high availability transparently distributed databases? Sampo Syreeni <decoy@iki.fi>, aka decoy, student/math/Helsinki university
