- jamesmcs 13y agoBut they have confiscated domains without evidence or trial before[1]. [1] http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57428362-93/critics-say-feds-riaa-too-closely-linked-in-music-site-seizure/ http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57428362-93/critics-say-fed...
- pyre 13y agoTrue, but that's limited in scope. They can't do that to just anything, because it's being done via ICE. It's only limited to copyright violations as they cross over with 'counterfeit goods.'
- markdown 13y agoEh, the american's won't just ban you in their country, they'll ban you worldwide by seizing your domain name. Even China and North Korea don't try to impose their laws on the rest of the world.
- pyre 13y agoTo be fair the US seizes the domain names that it has access to. You won't see ICE seizing .cn domains. It just happens that the most popular domains (.com, .org, .net) are 'local' to the US. China and North Korea don't have the ability to seize those domain names, so we don't know what they would do if they did.
