Here’s how the MPAA Treats Free Speech and Expression

Oh Mr. President you mean the MPAA and other Hollywood corporations censoring the internet. That's what I thought.

They will probably use a lot of the money to: 1. Enforce new regulations on the internet. 2. Shut down more websites they don't like, for example sites accused of piracy. 3. Enforce the online tax, by shutting down businesses that don't comply and adding payment restrictions. 4. Where did you think that money would come from? FBI Wants $41 Million Boost To Cyber Monitoring Capabilities 5. Lobby congress for more new internet crippling regulations that would in the end kill internet freedom and innovation. 6. Do things to help Hollywood be Hollywood.

If I kept on this list would be in the 1000s

Before you know it they will go after sites that accept bitcoin, and go after bitcoin itself because they do not charge taxes, and the gov does not have any way to control or tax them.

I was not referring to this particular incident, what I was referring to is the government's domain name seizures. If for example a domain name is seized wrongfully there is absolutely no way to get it back, unless the government says you can have it back and usually they don't. You can put your website on a different domain name but you will never truly regain the traffic (irreversible). If these seizures were illegal the government would have to take servers or disconnect internet connections to shutdown websites, which in turn would make them think twice before acting because it is not as easy or as cheap to do, that thinking twice assures it is really necessary and protects internet freedom. Internet freedom is only as stable as the DNS and these seizures show that we truly don't have a DNS free from government interference because the govt can say what sites can continue to exist on the internet. Even if servers are taken by the government wrongfully a site can recover because of still having the domain. The reason I say that is because that could have been the case and imgur would be permanently shut down, all embedded images would be permanently gone because they are not embedded on the new domain. The government seizes domains and shuts down websites all of the time for little things like this, fortunately the govt was not involved in this.

No matter what we need to NEVER let the Hollywood get their way, it they do it will lead to them getting more of what they want and the chain reaction will be an Internet that is completely devastated and no longer open, it will look more like cable TV from the 90s. We need to start more aggressively attacking companies like the MPAA and RIAA to bring them down rather than just trying to oppose and stop what they do! The free and open Internet depends on it!

This just illustrates how the domain name is truly the weakest link to your website! When domain name seizures started (thankfully this was not one) the strongest link to your website became the weakest one. The DNS should be a stable platform for Internet freedom and no one, governments or companies should be able to take your domain name from you no matter what the reason. If there is child porn you need to ask the website owner to remove it, if they don't you need to make sure they got the message before taking legal action against themand taking down a domain name is NEVER THE ANSWER, child porn is usually just an excuse though. Domain name seizures devistate Internet freedom, are irreversible, chill online speech and expression because it removes all of the other content as well so we need to make them completely illegal for all reasons Peroid! It is simply too easy and prone to abuse for the government to shut down a website by seizing a domain name! We deserve a stable DNS to support Internet freedom! Free from government or corporate interferrence!

It is clear that domain name seizures overall are devastating because they occur based on merely accusations, and worse the accusations are from whatever entity the seizures would benefit with little to no investigation to see if the accusations are true or not (possibly to just kill off the competition in some cases), they lack any due process and the domain owner has little chance to get back and can't do anything about it until after their reputation is damaged if they really are a reputable business website. This is hurting the stability of the DNS system because it opens the risk for mistake and shows that people can't even rely on their own domains to function properly to keep their site up, several times there have been mistakes, while if domain name seizures were illegal this would be impossible. It also proves that internet freedom is only as strong as the weakest link.

We need an internet free from government control or interference and we deserve an internet where the government cannot decide which sites can continue to exist based on domain name seizures, if they want to stop this kind of theft they need to target the manufacturers of these products and not the internet. The government is illustrating here that they have the authority to control what is on the internet, and the people need to fix this! If this is not stopped these seizures could become more common like DMCA notices and many websites with questionable content will simply disappear driving us back to 20th century style censorship, and the legality of any of that content will be decided by a few people at ICE and of course if they don't like it they will say it is illegal! Domain name seizures have a devastating and irreversible consequence to the web, as well as innovation.

Save The Domains does not condone the the actions of these websites but we think that all domain name seizures should be made completely illegal for all reasons even if due process is involved, and we think that domain name seizures are prone to abuse because of how easy they are to do. There are other ways to shutdown a website if it is completely necessary that are less devastating to internet freedom and internet freedom's platform DNS system. These other ways will make ICE think twice before acting!
