WTF? Where do you get your information from? How on earth could you claim
sh*t like this?

Technically the Internet belongs to the US (although organisations like the
National Physical Laboratory and CERN might claim an interest). After all,
the A root name server is in the US and could be shut down by the US
Government. Without another server becoming the primary the Internet would
disappear. Of course, how the US could exert jurisdiction over the other
roots is questionable. However, they seem able to exert their might over
many countries anyway.
