Don't break the law and you won't have to represent yourself is the way I look at it.
so if a single packet of traffic is routed thru a country that outlaws porn you should be prosecuted for that too.

not one single piece of content is routed thru the dns name resolution request

the entire "infringing" transaction happens after the verisign transaction happens because tcp/ip is routed to an IP ADDRESS, not a domain.
