"P.S. Why does everyone who says "if you have a .ly domain, you are supporting the Gaddafi regime!" assume that the .ly TLD is managed directly by Libya? [2] Many smaller, less Internet-involved (if not wholly Internet-unconnected) countries outsource management and use of their TLD to foreign companies in exchange for licensing fees."
If this is the case, and someone is paying for a .ly domain, then their payments go to Libya in the form of licensing fees, thus supporting the regime.
- abalashov 16y agoIn a broad sense, perhaps, but this implies a 1:1 correlation about the licensing arrangement that remains to be established. More importantly, Mr. Muammar has been in power since the 1969 coup. Now we are supposed to start caring about his trafficking in adverb suffixes?
- AnthonBerg 16y agoI can't see that anything specific about the correlation is implied. And why not care now? Which is worse - to care too late, or to not care at all?
