Yo!
In other arenas, they call the concept "diplomatic immunity"....
Indeed. And is almost as idiotic there. But the issue is that the
Internet does not have any "reverse responsibility" mechanism; an evil
minor-player under a lax-average-provider can do whatever he feels that
suits him best, and disregard majority opinion. An anarchy without even
fundamental feedback regulatory mechanisms is simply prey; me paying for
anothers fortune. And the least thing that would work is governments
imposing their preferences. So maybe ICAN and the likes should consider
some form of responsibility in these matters.
Alas, Peter
