How DNS Siezures are like Chaos Theory
I am usually not one to get involved with politics and this matter is no different. Whichever way you lean on this DNS matter I feel it is a good chance to learn more about what options are out there. If you need to catchup here is some reading:

These show how government is getting more involved in DNS which is the core of how we do things on the net. This opens the door for further understanding/learning of the other options that are available on the net.
One of these is a great project for a open DNS system:
What OpenNIC are doing already and the push to a torrent driven DNS system with the .p2p extension are making the DNS world get interesting!
So what you have here is a change that is causing “ripples” all over the ‘net that could lead to major/minor changes into how DNS is done. Whatever you think will become of this it is going to be interesting to watch play out.
