Yo!

In other arenas, they call the concept "diplomatic immunity"....
Indeed. And is almost as idiotic there. But the issue is that the Internet does not have any "reverse responsibility" mechanism; an evil minor-player under a lax-average-provider can do whatever he feels that suits him best, and disregard majority opinion. An anarchy without even fundamental feedback regulatory mechanisms is simply prey; me paying for anothers fortune. And the least thing that would work is governments imposing their preferences. So maybe ICAN and the likes should consider some form of responsibility in these matters.

Alas, Peter
