N.Y. State Legislators Want To Ban Sales Of Domain Names To Terrorists
State legislators argue their bill will make it more difficult for known terrorist organizations to obtain domain space to spread their message.
New York state lawmakers want to outlaw the sale of domain names to terrorist groups.
Assemblyman Felix Ortiz, a Brooklyn Democrat, and Sen. Carl Marcellino, a Long Island Republican, have introduced matching bills that they argue will make it more difficult for known terrorist organizations to obtain domain space to spread their messages. In memos explaining the bills, the lawmakers cited a study from the Intelligence and Terrorism Center in Israel stating that the Internet's importance in "marketing terrorism became significantly greater after September 11."
"The Web makes it relatively easy for terrorists and their supporters to evade detection and disseminate their messages and plans," the lawmakers stated in documents filed with the bills.
The bills would make it a class A misdemeanor to knowingly sell domain names to groups included on a New York State Office of Homeland Security list of organizations engaged in terrorist activities or who pose a terrorist threat.
Bloggers are criticizing the lawmakers for coming up with a rule that can be circumvented by groups that easily use fictitious names and aliases in the real world and on the Internet. Another cause for criticism: The law would not differentiate between sites that automate sales and those reselling individual names.
dang lol

What a stupid waste of tax payer money. Go Dems!
So what are we supposed to, run background checks on everyone we sell a domain too?...what nonsense!
Please vote Republican in 2012, America can not sustain another 4 years
of Liberal policies that are fiscally and socially destroying the country..
Can they not extend the bill to include use of email, msn and perhaps go further and stop the applying for an ISP
That's a joke. What about content. Just see you tube and seach Iraq. They would need to ban the internet first.

That's just stupid. One doesn't even need a domain to spread their message, just web space and an IP.
