And you forgot... rarely is justice ever done. Sure the guy may get his domain back, but is that justice done? No, justice done would be whoever stole it getting hit with a tire-iron in a dark alley.
This isn't going to go over with the PC crowd... but the reason people even try these things is because there is no real penalty. How many people here have spent a night or two in jail? It's no big deal, let me assure you.
The justice system is getting way to lax (or has it always been that way)? Deferred judgments, probation, home confinement, community service, whatever. To most of the "shady" people I know, getting put on probation and community service is the equivalent of getting sent to your room as a child. There's no dissentive not to try this stuff. Anyone that believes there is is in la-la land.
It depends if they have any knowledge of the intended use of their product. Of course the article isn't available, so I don't know if the ISP was given notice to remove the stuff or not.
I use Dotster too, but I won't in the future. Dotster has this really nasty behavior of making a new contact record for the new domains (.biz,.info, etc) everytime you try to modify it. So you'll end up with a list of contact records, each recording every change you've made.
If you don't believe me, try it. Lookup your domain using whois.biz or whois.info. Write down the contact record id's. Now go change one letter on that contact at Dotster. Then lookup your domain again. Bam! New contact record. Now, lookup your old contact record. Yep, still there!
Every other registrar that I've used is smart enough to change the current record rather can copying it everytime.
Cheap ($12), free customized DNS, free forwarders, etc. I like it because it's French, and knowing how they hate Americans (I'm American), and are subsequently less likely to respond favorably to legal action, I feel my domains are safer there.
Questioning the Holocaust should never be a crime. It may bring in to question your sanity (the same as questioning if 1 + 1 = 2), but it shouldn't be a crime to be ignorant.
1) I hope you are trolling on this part too. There are more than a few services: they don't distort the results, you can actually get a response in your language, they can be turned off, and the list goes on and on.

On the other hand, not all users are going to be apt to do this
Not apt to resize their browser window?! Then they shut off the damn computer and go read something else.
Where you make-an-excuse-for-everything-and-everybody people come from is beyond me.
This is funny, very funny. But on the serious side, all schools should have school-supplied uniforms through 12th grade.

I think you need to reread the parent post. "We" refers to the majority of the readers of this site, ie Americans.
Uh... sue them? Hello?

You're full of shit. If not, post one spam from Gandi.

I stand corrected, but I'm still not impressed.
It's one thing to design something yourself, and quite another to take a complete design that already works and tweak it.
They used a (modified) Russian vehicle, and the astronauts were trained by Russia. About the only thing the Chinese did was provide the launchpad.
I did that, last night.
I'm supposing you meant imperative programming, not functional programming, but anyways OOP is orthogonal to both:
Functional, OOP: OCaml
Functional, not OOP: ML
Imperative, OOP: Java
Imperative, not OOP: C
Not that you can't simulate OOP in any language....
You forgot your transitive closure. :)
You think pre-trial public statements can't be introduced in court?
when IBM and SGI say their licenses are irrevocable, is that they're perpetual
IBM and SGI aren't stupid, they wouldn't say one thing when they meant another.
Because people are too easily provoked/irritated/angered.

Actually, that was the plan from the very beginning.
Hi bitch, find and mod down everyone of my posts in the last 30 days. I'll let you know if it affects my karma.
1) I hope you are trolling on this part too. There are more than a few services: they don't distort the results, you can actually get a response in your language, they can be turned off, and the list goes on and on.
2) You're still a fucking idiot.
Which is why you're fucking idiot. This "idea" has been around, and put to "good use", for years and years. Where have you been?
You're a fucking idiot. Such services can be offered without the change they made.
At first I thought you were just stupid. Now I realize you are a troll.
I hope to God that you were attempting to troll there!
