when you are a subdomain on cmu.edu, I am going to hold cmu.edu responsible for your actions (regardless of the formal legal relationship between the two)

- gwright 11y agoWhy? Should bit.ly be held responsible for the actions of the Libyan government? Should customers of heroku be held responsible for Heroku's corporate actions (customer.herokuapp.com)? The domain hierarchy doesn't actually tell you much about the relationships between entities and certainly doesn't tell you enough on its own to discern culpability between entities.
- mlonkibjuyhv 11y agoI believe you got the hierarchy backwards.
- gwright 11y agoI believe you are right about the direction. :-) Point still stands, DNS hierarchy doesn't imply culpability or legal responsibility in either direction.
