We’re fatigued of news from Bernie Madoff and Wall Street and other white collar criminals, but the rest of the world needs to catch on!
So far, not many people are on board. Michael Froomkin of ICANNWatch.org is. Micahel Froomkin is no slouch; he is Professor at the University of Miami School of Law in Coral Gables, Florida, specializing in Internet Law and Administrative Law.
If it looks like fraud, it tastes like fraud, it acts like fraud, it IS fraud!!!
In response to the NoDaddy comment above, let me repeat what I wrote to to Obama, concerning ICANN and the Registrars (eNom, Go Daddy, Network Solutions, etc):
take advantage of the public’s lack of legal expertise in legal agreements, which is hugely disadvantageous to the public, causing it to forfeit its rights, and obligating it to unreasonable terms in favor of big business.
Copies were sent to the Department of Justice Anti-Trust Division, the SEC, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (Commerce Department branch that handled the internet, before it went private this past September), Vint Cerf, Honorable Al Gore, and the California Franchise Tax Board.
The internet business sets itself apart from traditional businesses in this regard: Government has not the efficacy to regulate technology! The fraudsters count on that to pass these ridiculous regulations! It behooves you, dear reader, to take matters into your hands by writing the powers that be to look into this. The government counts on the technology sector to regulate itself. The technology sector is not doing a great job . . . what do you think? Comment below.
