OT: BitTorrent Based DNS To Counter US Domain Seizures & The Pirate Bay Co-Founder Starting A P2P Based DNS To Take On ICANN

>From personal experience:

I've never really had to put up with racist or nasty sites ... I just go
there, similar to how I don't hang around racist people. Other than being
unexpectedly/goatse'ed or rickrolled, is it really an issue?

The biggest issues I've have are shared mediums,which puts the occasional
asshats in the otherwise-friendly forum, email, or especially
games/newsgroups.

P2PDNS would neither help nor hinder that though.

distributed DNS system, the Internet will remain a free and open space
where free speech is protected. On the other hand you will have to put up
with file sharing and other illegal or nasty things (like a racist website
for example) that would be harder to shut down. Of course all that stuff
exists on the internet already and society hasn't collapsed.

It would seem the debate as to whether or not these technologies should be
released is a moot point as they have already started development. Which
will dominate is yet to be seen. Of course an open and free internet is
being attacked on other fronts...
