Hijacking this for another subject

[SmallFurryCreature]

Whenever the subject of IPv4 running out of addresses comes up, people suggest all kinds of solutions, from NAT to shared IP.

But in this case, the only reason the site still works is because it doesn't share its IP. It shows rather clearlty why having your own IP is so important.

I wonder what does who tag every IPv4 story with NAT have to say about this case. Offcourse you could argue that in no way does BILLION of people need to have their own IP in case some judge decides to take down your domain but still, we have to keep in mind when talking of tech solutions to this problem the social consequences. If this site had been "responsible" with its IP usage it would have been on a shared IP and used that for all its sister sites. It would work perfectly, until someone pulls the plug on you.
