Registrar Deletes Domain Name of Illegal Site
In an item related to the one immediately below, CNET is reporting that Joker.com, a registrar based in Germany, has deleted a domain name at the request of a German prosecutor. The site apparently carried content that was illegal under German law. Both the CNET and IraqTV stories are lessons on the selection of a registrar: registrars exist in real space and are bound by the laws of their home countries. Use care when selecting a registrar based in a foreign country.
IraqTV.ws Is Off The Air
Update to this. The Iraqi state television service is no longer reachable via its ".ws" domain name.
