I am just being pragmatic — our broadcast servers are in Rotterdam and in Amsterdam and I think it highly doubtful that the "worst case scenario" of censorship and "ghettoization" would have any direct affect our operations in the EU.

However, many of our affiliates might be affected in some way, this I realize ... If their domains are not trademarked they will either have to take their chances or it is "payola" time. By "payola" I mean trademark your valuable names and either pay off ICM in some manner or be prepared to fight legally ... If a domain is not worth the costs — the risk to you is small.

This is hardly a good situation, or solution in the matter, but the battle lines are drawn.

BTW: ICMs lawyers are willing to challenge on this. I don't this this as a battle to pursue in the courts. If you are smart you choose you fields of battle to your advantage and live on to fight ;)
