"The more laws, the less justice" Marcus Tullius Cicero

"The more laws that governments pass, the less individual freedom there is. Any student of history will tell you that. Totalitarian countries ban pretty much everything.

Bill O'Reilly (He couldn't be the first one to coin this?)



Interesting you mention those quotes, taking into account this problem is due to the government externalising some critical infrastructure.


I think this is a naive view of the situation. The authority still belongs to the US Department of Commerce -ICANN just has a contract, which incidentally expires this year- and multiple governmental organizations have publicly argued that fake WHOIS records impede their regular activities.

The apparent externalization is great for shifting blame, though.
