ICANN Grants Temporary Reprieve to Spamhaus

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the yet-i'm-still-getting-spamalanched dept.

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."

    Judges aren't required to know how technology works, they just make rulings that affect it.

    Basically, ICANN is saying, "It's not our job to suspend domain registrations; it's the registrar's job. We just coordinate registrars."
