ICANN Grants Temporary Reprieve to Spamhaus
daringone writes "ICANN released a statement that says they "...cannot comply with any order requiring it to suspend or place a client hold on Spamhaus.org or any specific domain name" They do, however leave the door open for the registrar that registered the domain name to then be forced to turn the lights off for Spamhaus."
So what do you think the judge should have done in this case, given that the defendant gave the court de facto jurisdiction and then failed to make an appearance?
If your juridictional system is sooo much brainfucked as to claim a de facto competence in retaliation to failed appearance, it's hopeless. I clearly know nothing about US judges and their power, but in general in the civilised world, a judge is supposed to know the law better than the people, and should deny his competence without being asked, even coming second in the process, after a false attribution made by a local court. (pardon my non-legal terminology, I'm actually a lawyer living under a much more pleasant sky).
