I'm working with my local Pirate Party to outlaw domain name seizures for the reason that it's asinine since domain names act as typically an address to content and can't violate any laws although the server hosting the content can still be. I also have further reasoning.
Unfortunately, it's for Australian domain names (.au). I think .au domain names are under USA jurisdiction due to AuDA's sponsorship contract with ICANN where ICANN is hosting Australian domain names on a nameserver. The sponsorship deal cost seems to be ~7% of domain names.
The Pirate Party is pretty great for entrepreneurs as they have many closely aligned motives. Did you know a Pirate Party in Czech is trying to make a constitutional amendment of an Internet Access right?
- meiji 15y agoNow if only they wouldn't call it the Pirate Party, it might actually attract more mainstream attention. Self-marginalising your political ethos because of the name seems remarkably short sighted. Sadly too many people won't get past the name to see the good that is trying to be done.
- Joakal 15y agoIt has caught some mainstream attention, look up Pirate Party Australia. Is this mainstream attention enough: http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/aussie-pirate-party-plans-election-onslaught-20090930-gbvd.html http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/aussie-pira... ?
