sooo... why does ICANN being rejected by a subsidiary of the US Department of Trade leave me with a strange sense of impending malaise with regard to the intertubes, no matter how this works out.
Why the hell does worldwide arbitration of domain and IP policing lie somewhere in the bowels of the US public service?

Hell yeah, god forbid that some of the bands and SXSW got publicity, web hits and maybe audience members from the app. Hell, what are they thinking they are doing, mutually benefiting everyone concerned?

I hope Rebecca has copyrighted 'cunthammer', I'm sure there are plenty of under assistant vice presidential botoxbabe public relations interns at MPAA who will jump on it for their cvs!...(or Fox News presenters...)
Are you serious? This is Newscorp, the owners of Fox news, patron of the neocons, feudal plaything of a twisted golem with as much respect for you, me or his employees as Genghis Khan. Screw them and reveal every ... single ... disgrace they perpetrate.
