Default 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

*shurgs* it doesn't affect me or my country directly so I can really care less... this guy will find a way to bring the sites back up, they always do... it is after all the internet.







Thanks HL and Corsair!

The US does actually own much of the internet, nearly all requests are at least routed through data centers here in the states.

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.

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?

Wow. Some people really have grudges against the States huh? Middle East mad because we came over there to kick the shit out of them? Or is it Europe is pissed at us because we own 999,999/1,000,000ths of the internet. Damn foriegn crap. (No offense against China or Japan though, they made most of my electronics lol)
