Thank you. This is what Mike was referring to with the CP notice slapped on mooo.com. ONE site was suspected of having child porn. ONE subdomain. Instead of going to Mooo.com, they went to the registrar, and shut down 83,000 sites and slapped the CP notice on ALL of them.
"I see no reason to not believe that they are in fact "for the children.""
That is quite easy to address, actually. If it were truly 'for the children,' they would not be going after DNS domains. They would be going after servers, and the people who run them. Taking the name, cutting off that one link, does nothing to fight child molestation/pornography. It makes them dig deeper, hide better, and be harder to find and prosecute.
This is why people are jumping on you for this comment. It was baseless, and a very low blow. Your explanation is meaningless in the context or reality of the situation.
'Repeat after me: If the government did it, in any manner, in any way, if the government is attached to it, or it pertains to any law or report pertaining to anything about IP coming from the government, it's bad, a joke, and a waste of money - because Mike Masnick says so!'
Re: Re: Re: Who from the Copyright Office has spoken out in public about 301?
Well, let's see. The director of the Copyright Office made the offhanded comment that 'no one takes it seriously.' Then another employee from there comments that they have a history of going a 'bit off the ranch' with it.
Sounds to me like /they/ don't take it seriously. Don't see how you don't. Except that it's an obvious means of taking a stab at Mike. A weak one, though.
When our government starts doing what we, the people, want, then we'll talk. For now, they don't care what we think, all that much, and even just prior to an election year they are doing some very... stupid things.
