Pretty shocking. Then again, people get the government they vote for and the USA has clearly been decline to being a banana republic for a long time.
But I don't agree that this is a case of forcing anything on the world, com/org/net are US domain extensions, so I guess they have the right to control those. We're free to not use US domain names.
On the other hand, with ACTA the USA will force its view on the world.
- JabavuAdams 16y ago> Then again, people get the government they vote for and the USA has clearly been decline to being a banana republic for a long time. This is an unintentionally funny sentence, because the US essentially created banana republics.
