Good news for content owners? People who don't want shit done to their computers with malware? etc.

I wouldn't want to be a .com right now with all kinds of stolen content on my domains, that's for sure.

Today, US agencies can get court orders instructing VeriSign to hand over domains. While imposing US law on .com owners from other countries is controversial, at least overseas registrants know where they stand.

Now VeriSign is talking about cooperating with European law enforcement agencies too.

Could mean something, could mean nothing. It looks like a start though.

Discuss.
