題目: [Hackmeeting] USA dichiarano di avere la giurisdizione su tutti i domini .com e .net
Non mi sembra sia passato su questa lista e lo segnalo visto che mi
sembra un passo non da poco. Si parla di siti con dominio .com o .net
che non sono su server USA e che non sono stati registrati da cittadini
o società USA.

Se ci fosse qualche avvocato in lista che potesse spiegare le
implicazioni in Italia di una mossa del genere...

The US's Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) is targeting
overseas websites it believes are breaking US copyrights whether or not
their servers are based in America or there is another direct US link,
said Erik Barnett, the agency's assistant deputy director.

As long as a website's address ends in .com or .net, if it is implicated
in the spread of pirated US-made films, TV or other media it is a
legitimate target to be closed down or targeted for prosecution, Barnett
said. While these web addresses are traditionally seen as global, all
their connections are routed through Verisign, an internet
infrastructure company based in Virginia, which the agency believes is
sufficient to seek a US prosecution.

As well as sites that directly host or stream pirated material, ICE is
also focusing on those that simply provide links to it elsewhere. There
remains considerable doubt as to whether this is even illegal in Britain
– the only such case to be heard before a British court, involving a
site called TV-Links, was dismissed by a judge in February last year.

Erik Barnett, assistant deputy director of ICE said told the Guardian
that the agency will actively target web sites that are breaking US
copyright laws even if their servers are not based in the US. According
to Barnett, all web sites that use the .com and .net TLDs are fair game
and that, since the Domain Name Service (DNS) indexes for those web
sites are routed through the US-based registry Versign, ICE believes it
has enough to "seek a US prosecution".
