Warezio is threatening ICANN with an unfair competition lawsuit for failing to take action against alleged piracy-enabling domain registries.

    A lawsuit for “unfair competition”? How do they figure that? .to is a ccTLD. The Kingdom of Tonga will manage it however it sees fit. Not every country in the world is obligated to subscribe to the same ideas on copyright and digital piracy

      Check out some thread on AI and copyright. That oughta tell you how copyright people “think”, for lack of a better word. Not impossible to succeed with that kind of thing in Europe.

    Wait what.

    … sue… ICANN?

    Has that happened before?

    For any reason?

    EDIT:

    Apparently yes, I’ve just somehow never heard of that happening.

    So many problem TLDs, good luck with that!

    Might as well complain about .ru and .kr while you’re at it.

      As the owner of a (non-piracy-related) .to domain for decades, I concur.

    Warezio

    I think it is time to introduce them to real pirates. Somalian, for example.
