To all of those worried about ISP blocking...

da1prophet · Oct 17, 2006

I give you the example of the Russian based MP3 site allofmp3.com. It's become a big sticking point in Russia's entry into the WTO because they charge well below "market prices" for MP3s and doesn't pay royalties(at least not in the way the entertainment industry wants them to). The United States has made this a major issue at the behest of the entertainment industry, and is keeping Russia out of the WTO until they get concessions on this and other matters. They've also chided the Russian government for allowing such a site to operate. But one thing they *haven't* done is to even suggest that ISP's either in Russia or here in the states block access. I just pulled up the site without problem.....

ISP blocking of gambling sites is a nice thing for the "sky is falling" types to worry about in addition to everything else, but its just not that easy to sell from a political standpoint, nor that easy to enforce from a practical one:

I'm not saying it's gonna happen, but the new law gives powers to law enforcement to serve cease orders to remove LINKS to a gambling url. no need for any charges to be filed.

so since this site is hosted in the USA, an AG or the FBI can go to a judge and secure an order to demand removal of specific links to sites in violation of the new law.

this is not blocking, this is not filtering. this is a way for the government to stop US based (hosted) sites running banner ads, or text link ads for gambling.

the government has been very effective using this method to shut down drug paraphanalia (spelling is way off lol) websites that are hosted in the USA.

That's the real reason the Daily Racing Form (online edition) has stopped putting links and ads to offshores. (No longer a mystery to me now)

The Rx was once DOS attacked. What you have posted was a temporary fix.

THat info looks to be the old info before the SHRINK sold it. I believe it is now hosted out of Canada, But could be very wrong on this.........G.

When the contact is network solutions, it is an anonymous contact. They forward mail and email to site owners who wish to stay private...

They will release the info to a supaeno, but the fact that their address is in MD and VA does not mean the site is in the US.

Most books and casinos come up with the same info if you check...
