This whole directnic locking down a domain thing

[Linkster]

Actually - after watching all of this Im sure Directnic is just getting ready for the legislation that will probably pass in the January session of congress which will hold registrars as well as many other services accountable/responsible for content just as ISPs are right now legally - I believe the bill is being introduced as another child-protection bill by J McCain

Gotta love how the "for the children" argument suddenly makes everything permissible. Now anyone can take anybody, no matter how remotely involved, to court or at least get them involved via a supponea as a material witness. All laws do is broaden the spectrum of who can be jailed and sued. Anyone ready for the day that they get called to court for linking to a blog that links to site that somehow links to another site CP on it?

The only time that I think the spectrum was narrowed was the time Clinton signed an executive order officially acknowledging the existing of Area 51, but permanently denying the right to any information about it (FOIA or otherwise) which absolves the government of answering anything about it (see nasty polution problems and worker problems caused by it) ever. Enough said. Draw your own conclusions.
