Besides, it’s a state-initiated (or rather Beshear’s) action, isn’t it? Unless there’s a federal law covering all U.S. states about this, I don’t know how a Kentucky court can impose this on VeriSign.

Unless VeriSign decides to…accomodate? Not sure of the legalities, of course, but just speculating.

In this case the registry has not been named a party or brought into the suit.

As of now you would be protected using an offshore registrar

MHB,

Don’t be so certain that using an offshore registrar will change whether or not U.S. authorities can assert jurisdiction over a domain name. You have three parties, a regiSTRANT, a regiSTRAR, and a regiSTRY.

And the .com registry is located in…. Virginia.

Now that the case it up for appeal the domains might have to be given back to the state, and if any of the owners of these domains still have their domains with a US based registrar when the Kentucky Supreme court rules on this, or when the Kentucky legislature amends the law to include domain names, they deserve to lose them

For reasons that still are not clear, the handful of addresses we’ve checked since then appeared to have reverted back to their rightful owner. It’s not clear who made the changes or why they were made.

Sounds like someone sent a copy of the decision to the registrars and they changed it…fast.

What a Country!
What a State!
What a Governor!
If you really think the U. S. has democracy then think again.
We are being smiled and laught at all over the world. All the failure of our foreign politics, the financial disaster “WE have created” global wide. We want to change the world, tell people in other countries how they should act and how important freedom in all different ways is.
This Kentucky Governor is just one more of our U.S. disasters.

Concentrating on real economy problems should be the No. 1 deal for all of us and specially politicians.

Economy problems mentioned! Get this!
How do you turbo boost the economy?

1. The Government pay’s you $ 3300 if you buy a new car.
2. You limit this bonus for the first 600 000 new cars bought.
3. You only get the bonus if you bring your old car to the wrecking yard.
4. The old car has to be in your name for at least 1 year.
5. The old car has to be at least 9 years old.

Think it does not work? Think this is fantasy? Think again!

The above rules applied 2 days ago in the country of Germany.

Today the press released some car dealers are selling 10 x more cars then usually and if the orders keep up the 600 000 cars will be ordered and sold within 6 weeks.

Smart! Real smart move by the German government.

Keeps jobs, makes a better eco environment and puts money in the right hands.
It’s a winwin for “The consumer” and the important Auto industry.

This is something a Kentucky Governor should be looking at instead of wasting more tax payers money and time.
