[AusNOG] [off-topic] US lawmakers bring in worldwide censorship laws

[James Troy (PageUp/AU/VIC)]

This is certainly strange, they know other countries wont recognise
their legal system, so they are trying to impose it within their own
jurisdiction. This might work for some registrars but I thought the AU
registrar was based in AU, perhaps I am wrong, but if I am correct any
site with a 2byte domain therefore would be exempt from this law. 

To go even a step further a .nl domain is euro based therefore once
again not recognising their (the US) legal system.

This is interesting days and it will take a massive battle to overcome
this and at the end of the day, if the local government bows to the
wishes of the US it would be upto the 'accused' to fight the US
legislation. Certainly not a spot I would want to be in, but im glad im
not a pirate :)

Sorry for the off topic post but, is this for real? I wonder how long
before Conroy tries to do this...
