|  U.S. Owns the Internet Wow I guess we own the internet if we can close a business that is operated in Europe and has servers in a country other than ours as long as the domain name is registered with an ICANN-approved register like Enom. Even a business that is legal in Europe like Tour and Marketing International that arranges vacations for Europeans simply because the arrange tours for Europeans to Cuba. No wonder the rest of the world hates America if we impose our laws on them. US.gov disappears European-owned Cuba websites | The Register   | ||||||||||||||

 | Re: U.S. Owns the Internet The US does actually own much of the internet, nearly all requests are at least routed through data centers here in the states.  | ||||||||||||||

| Re: U.S. Owns the Internet I can see if this happens much that Europe might start their own and before you know it no more world wide internet but divided into different countries. | ||||||||||||||

 | Re: U.S. Owns the Internet Eh that's lame really. As jokers said, if crap like that keeps happening then it's going to divide internet more than anything else. Worse, maybe you have to pay a premium to access certain regions internet. :S OH and we're being watched so....  If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you? | ||||||||||||||
