Slashdot Mirror
Jail Time for Misleading Domain Names
Bootsy Collins writes "The Miami Herald is running a
story
on the first-ever prison sentencing (and, for that matter, prosecution and conviction) under the Federal Truth in Domain Names Act. This act, combined into the larger
Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to end the Exploitation of Children Today Act (PROTECT) of 2003, made it a violation of U.S. Federal law to use a misleading domain name with the intent to deceive someone into viewing obscene material -- larger penalties if attempting to so mislead minors, but up to two years even if adults are the object. In the case in question, a man was convicted for registering thousands of domain names which were close misspellings of popular web sites for kids. Attempting to surf to those sites would redirect to a site entitled 'Dorm Sex Party.' Before being arrested, the convicted typosquatter made about a million dollars for the referrals." He's been on Slashdot before.
I would also lift weights, so no one would try to make me their bitch.
Why bother? Your number is greater than mine, therefore you are ab initio my bitch. May I cut out your eye with a shiv, and then piss in your occular socket?

Porn is educational for children. And if they don't like it, maybe they will learn to type better.
Goddamn right he deserves prison. He was warned, did it anyway. Fuck him.
But what I REALLY want is that they could imprison the goatse.cx guys too. Fuckers deserve it, for exactly the same reasons as the parent article.
I expect to be the victim of constant trolling now. Fuck you too, trolls. I'm sick of your shit that you spray all over this site. Fire away.
Boycott everything - they're all trying to fuck you one way or another
Most direct, most necessary; the definate detriment to the majority for prevention of potential freedom of individuals is lacking any basis. If the US judicial system is to intervene and imprison an individual for the registration of particular domains that could be visited by children by means of typographical errors, proceed fully, no? Government housing for all children until the age of 20, formulaic education, elimination of non community focused thought, similar reforms; or perhaps Ayn's vision does not apply. Perhaps this gross violation of reason, by subversion into morality which the government as representative of populations in a democracy and in a republic can not interfere with. Rather, to prefer instead that democracy be subverted to fascism, that way at least the national economy benefits; in this realm only the few benefit for what is the expense of many from an unnecessary course of action.
But . . . Rosa Parks is a nigger. Are you trying to pretend that she's a honky, or a chink, or a spick?
Aahh, Slashdot. Who can divorce its American heritage from its Racist heritage? The genius born from one hundred thousand code monkeys, who have been brought up on a diet of intolerance, ignorance and contempt.

Tell me, while in prison, were you butt-fucked with lubrication or without? No, really ,what da hell were you spending there time for?
So much for the hardcore site. And to think I picked up VoteNader.US, VoteNader.INFO, and VoteNader.BIZ. It would have been kind of amusing to put a hardcore gay site on VoteNader.US, just to make the political statement that Nader is a fag...(in the context of the 2004 elections at least).
The Slashdot crowd have any bright ideas? Lampoon page, Bumper Stickers, etc...?
Thank you for responding like a biased sheep. You don't have anything intelligent to respond with, so you only imply that I'm insane? Sorry, but, but everyone doesn't think like Joe McChristian Sixpack.

Never criticize religion on Slashdot. You will be modded down for "Troll" no matter how factual it is.
Your whole argument rests upon "I feel X emotions in regard to events A, B, and C, so therefore, A, B, and C will lead to harmful consequences.
Also, you throw in "not mentally equipped to handle" as if that has any scientific basis. It doesn't. It's the same tired, repeated phrase that I hear too often.
If you're afraid of children getting a corrupted view of sex, then yes, that'll happen-- until they grow up. You see, people don't retain the same ideas they had in childhood. I'm no longer an irrational Christian but an atheist. I no longer think people can have telepathic powers. I learned that people lied to me, that the media exaggerates, that people repeat things blindly and stupidly. So where's *MY* damaged view of reality? Perhaps yours is.

Christian minds typically are diseased, irrational minds, because there is no rational basis in which to be a Christian, let alone any other religion, from Wicca to Buddhism.
You entire argument is constructed not to bring any rational arguments but to simply use extreme cases to fuel emotion in which to drum up support for your cause.
How does the viewing of "beastiality", while disgusting, actually HARM a child? Oh, that's right, they become "impure" so Jesus won't allow them into heaven... haha!
