ICANN had no role in seizing torrent domains
- iwr 16y agoIs this correct: "under the Patriot Act, GoDaddy and Verisign would not be allowed to admit involvement if they were requested so by the agencies in charge of the supposed domain seizure"?
- wmf 16y agoThe PATRIOT act allows pretty much anything. In the case of a .com domain, there are only two parties that could possibly modify it (the registry or the registrar) so such a gag order is fairly pointless. People talking about ICANN modifying .com domains just don't understand how DNS works. (Although there's not much difference between ICANN and VeriSign — they're both The Man.)
