So what about the fact that me.ga hasn't actually done anything illegal ..yet..
It appears that this whole issue has blown up into an absolutely ugly power game. Everyone's bullying everyone and it goes to show that international law, national law, any law, really don't have much meaning when the stakes are high enough.
There goes civilization. =/
(I'm referring to the part where the minister was pressured to seize the domain.. the hackers.. well no comment on them..)
- pbhjpbhj 14y agoSo basically if you buy a .ga domain this USA based company can take your money [via their subsidiary] and violate your contract at will? Surely the US government will step in and ensure the rule of law is upheld?
- Tyrannosaurs 14y agoWhy would they, it's a civil matter surely, some form of breach of contract and the correct recourse is to the courts. It also depends why the company have done what they've done. Given his previous history it's entirely reasonable that they've decided they don't wish to deal with him (having not realised it was him originally - I'm sure they don't check every domain registration) and have terminated their contract based on some perfectly reasonable clause or other. Dotcom has the right to do what he wants within the law, however other companies don't have to deal with him if they don't want to and given his past have plenty of reasons to think that way.
