GREAT ARTICLE that explains a lot. Denninger is one of the good ones, and he brings a lot more information to the table. This makes me breath a little easier.....

If you get the domain name registered at a toplevel registrant, not in the United States, the Feds cannot touch you. Please read.

ICANN-Accredited Registrars

Find the most liberal country (Sweden?) and register a variant of your domain name and point it to the current site - then publicize the variant as an emergence backup.

That was great information. Thanks for pinging me on this one. LOL!

Actually, there’s no need to use a variant. You could simply register in, say, thailand, and it would be www.freerepublic.th

They shut down http://www.Torrent-Finder.com but you can see the same site at http://www.Torrent-Finder.info

This was one of my favorite bit-torrent search engines.
Glad I’m not in the USA!

You’re pinging me? Huh.

Anyway, Jim Robinson already registered FREEREPUBLIC.INFO nine years and one day ago.

Thanks Laz, looks like you’ve hit it. Oh, sorry.

[Lazamataz]

You’re pinging me? Huh.

Sure. You were on the other thread. I don't hold anything against you.

Thanks, Laz. Not sure, but I believe that the over-reach of government bureaucracy is the reason Free Dominion of Canada relocated their server’s colo to Panama. Is it 1938 yet?

*.info domains are still under the control of ICANN (and the US government).

What Laz is suggesting that freerepublic.* be registered at some place outside the control of ICANN.

Looks like ICE overlooked that one -- not that they should have taken it down at all. That site apparently does nothing but provide a search engine for other sites, and doesn't provide any copyrighted content.

However, *.info domains are controlled by ICANN, too.

ICE isn't ICANN.

ICANN had no role in seizing torrent domains
