[ NNSquad ] Legislation would let U.S. order domain names to be shut down anywhere in world


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."

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.
