Whenever DANE comes up, DNSSEC in general comes up. Whenever DNSSEC comes up, a raft of people arrive to say "but this means the government will have complete control and can do what they want". The evidence of this actually being a reality is then given as the us government took down a known and acknowledged "piracy" site. A further example is given that e.g bit.ly would have been effectively controllable by Gadafi. First off: no one forced them to use the .ly domain. If you choose to use a country code domain you should be aware of the situation the controlling country is in. Second: if your only argument supporting the idea that democratic governments - even those as fucking ass backwards as the USA - will arbitrarily take control of your domain, is a file sharing site, I suggest you look for more evidence.
