[governance] A Wave of the Watch List, and Speech Disappears

[Milton L Mueller]

Bertrand:

I see a real US lawyer (Bret Fausett) has answered your question so I
have no need to play one on the Net.

Following your remarks to McTim below, and supposing this indeed is done
through the courts, the interesting set of questions here is : 

 

1) Would/should a foreign registrar comply with a court order from the
US ? 

2) And if it failed to do so, would the court order Verisign to do it
(block the domain name) ? 

3) Should Verisign do it, does that mean that all .com registrants
become indirectly subject to US law, not only in terms of appropriate
strings, but also in terms of the very activity they run, even on
servers not located on US territory and serving customers outside of the
US ?
