Judge denies block on Internet address transfer

a reply to: sputniksteve

I'm almost 100% sure this has nothing to do with your slow speeds. I recommend contacting your ISP if you aren't getting the speed advertised, though more likely than not they'll give you some BS answer.

You can't tell me it isn't because of this. Seriously.

Yes, we can. For one thing, because nothing was done today.

It was supposed to be Hyoomah Phage.

Doh!

Re Me Fa So!

Yep, there'll probably be no changes... Anything happening to yours shall be merely coincidence, but if all the area internet connection, there'll be a problem.

ICANN offices in California.

I wonder if they will take us down here.
WE ARE an intelligence page...

Are you threatening a terroristic act?

lmao. Intelligence page now. Isn't this abovetopsecret. We appreciate people like you. Will this transition affect the stock market?

The only thing I can see coming from this is that when people want their name and physical address hidden from ARIN, APNIC, and RIPE, they will no longer be able to count on that being so. See, in the USA I believe that kind of thing has to be ordered by a judge. However, most other countries don't like the whole innocent until proven guilty thing. SO, if you have an un-pc website, you best be looking into aka's (also known as).
But other than that, there will be no change.

Nope. You can pay a bit to have it. In the US or anywhere else.
kb.asmallorange.com...

Did you actually read the link you provided?

"Note: This option does not protect your identity from due process of law.

You cannot use this to hide from trademark violation lawsuits, illegal/criminal activity, intentional copyright violations, etc. A Small Orange must comply with properly served subpoenas, court orders, etc. and release information accordingly and whois privacy does not affect that."

You see that DUE PROCESS OF THE LAW? That used to mean to Americans due process of American law. Or to the English, due process of UK law. Now, if this is under "global" law, and who knows what the hell that is, the discovery process may not have to go through the due process of law that people, website owners, are used to in regard to their privacy.

a reply to: Fools

Oh. You want to hide from the law. Why?

But ICANN becoming autonomous does not change the laws of the US, or the UK, or any other country.

ICANN being a California corporation, is subject to US law. Just as it was before its US contract expired.

Key, US law. Now what law? Can you see?

a reply to: Fools

No. Can you clarify?
What has changed?

No one really knows. That is the point. We have to exist within it to know what is within it. Let's say I run an anti-homosexual website, or an anti islamic website.. or a anti kkk website, whatever. And there are people gunning for me. To bring me (or you) to heal.
Well maybe they try discovery via ICANN before and did not succeed. Well now they will probably have other legal avenues. And maybe they have resources (capital) and you do not.

I am not all that worried personally, but for sites such as wikileaks, this is probably causing some concern. And the timing of course, couldnt be better - or more obvious.

a reply to: Fools

False.
The only thing that has changed is that the US government no longer helps cover their expenses. Any "oversight" by the DOC was non-existent.

Prove that.
