The worry circulating around the domain industry is that they will use VeriSign and Virginia jurisdiction at the registry level. I can't remember if this has happened or not yet though.
- freejack 15y agoThe ICE seizures relied on this. Also of worry is the nexus created by the Regional Internet Registries (ARIN, etc.) which manage the address space and associated policy. ARIN manages the IP address space for US, Canada, many Caribbean and North Atlantic islands and could easily be hobbled by over-reaching legislation from any of those national interests - with possibly a much deeper and broader impact than anything that could be inflicted by similar legislation affecting the domain name system.
- ohashi 15y agoAh that makes sense. I thought it was used before but I couldn't remember a specific case; so I didn't want to just spout misinformation :)
