Oh, this is gonna be intresting... judges dont like having thier orders scoffed at or thrown to the wind...

they need to blow them up.

Fuck spamhaus and fuck the government for trying to control domains.

FUCK EM!

im glad to see the ICANN not agreeing with the government.

My thoughts exactly. Its good to see that they arent willing to be a complete rubber stamp for every "good idea" the govt comes up with.

Fuck, I'm moving all my domains to Tucows

Its now being called a "a constitutional crisis for the Internet."

I dont think thats too far off.

Not found of spammers, but what spamhaus has done to many legit mailers, some of whom I knew who they tried to blackmail to get removed is just wrong..

Its really bitter sweet - why couldnt this be anyone but SpamHaus?

Good on ICANN though.

Agreed completely...and know that there are several thousands that they have SUCCESSFULLY blackmailed into coughing up money that were legit mailers.

They need some sort of oversight from an outside party...seriously.

cant DEW it

Interesting situation.
