That's known as "loser pays" and will have such a chilling effect on frivolous litigation that the legal lobbies will not let it happen without a huge fight.
I think that ICANN's PR department is either underfunded or lazy.
Anyone who knows about the internet should have at least a bit of understanding about how it's governed. Everyone knows the FBI does crime, the SEC does securities, and the EPA does pollution. ICANN should be similiarly recognized as the agency that manages internet related stuffs.
1. Yank the accreditation 2. Ban further registrations 3. Public notice of revocation 4. 120 day grace period to effect transfers 5. Yank the registrar
All ICANN needs to do is give due notice to their customers and give them time to transfer.
Stop your god-damned fudding.
The AGPL does not forbid you from modifying your software. In fact, it explicity allows it.
It just means you have to share your modifications.

But if you didn't register with facebook, that doesn't give them permission to use a photo with you in it, because you never agreed to their TOS.
I think Basic is a nice language because it's probably the closest to english out there, and thus the one likely to be picked up the fastest.
It has a comforting lack of rampant symbol usage (the semicolons, commas, and braces that can look like greek).
It had better be verisign or ICANN.
Not the best but I'd just as soon trust a registry than a registrar.
Could it have been sales tax?
Would you tell them that if they were in a corporate environment and HAD NO FUCKING CHOICE not to use a braindead browser on a holey operating system?
So does dealing with the aftermath of a pwned windows box that you have to format and reinstall every time it gets rooted.
I think in the long run, linux saves you money.
Linux just beat Hurd to the punch and wound up getting the first pick at programmers.
which isn't too bad of an idea.
In a world where anything goes, effort is a precious commodity which needs to be spent efficiently.
Having a purist able to convince the pragmatic masses that his way is the right way can be a big help.
What is A'tuin standing on?

Merely suggesting it is political suicide.
Problem is you still get steamrolled by a larger LEGAL budget.
You are never safe in a country where a big bad-ass company can lawyer you to oblivion.
No because there was no clause to that effect.
The contract did not say "or else we own the station".
For starters (if you ever read the VS EULA), you are not allowed to compete with Access.
Also ICANN's problem.

Ok, registrars are flagrantly violating ICANN rules and are thus probably in breach of their registrar contracts.
Why the hell is ICANN not revoking the shit out of them?

Which would by definition kinda not be capitalism after all right?
It doesn't matter if the "government" is really the government or not. If anyone's bossing the economy around, it's not capitalism.
Personally I think that funny needs to be given back its karma bonus.
Who would have standing to complain if it did? Any potential victims are already dead.
For much the same reason as you don't try to do surgery without going to medical school
the original owners would be justified in getting a refund AND keeping the hot goods.
You could get in hot water for possession of stolen property if you knew they were hot.
because he's asking for payment TO expose it to YOU.
Extortion would be him asking for payment NOT to expose it to someone ELSE.
No it isn't. USPTO is a bureaucracy filled with bribable human critters.
