Warezio

I think it is time to introduce them to real pirates. Somalian, for example.

As the owner of a (non-piracy-related) .to domain for decades, I concur.

So many problem TLDs, good luck with that!

Might as well complain about .ru and .kr while you’re at it.

Funny, in the document the firm send ICANN, they did mention 3 .ru domains.

Wait what.

… sue… ICANN?

Has that happened before?

For any reason?

EDIT:

Apparently yes, I’ve just somehow never heard of that happening.

A lawsuit for “unfair competition”? How do they figure that? .to is a ccTLD. The Kingdom of Tonga will manage it however it sees fit. Not every country in the world is obligated to subscribe to the same ideas on copyright and digital piracy

Check out some thread on AI and copyright. That oughta tell you how copyright people “think”, for lack of a better word. Not impossible to succeed with that kind of thing in Europe.

Idk why they think that the Czech Republic has power over the Tongolese government. .to is the internet version of tongolese soil. Czech courts don’t have power over foreign flags of convenience

Also love the complaint that tongo isn’t following European privacy laws

FYI, .to is the ccTLD for the Kingdom of Tonga, and the word you want is Tongan. Tongolese has definitely made me very happy, thank you for the new word.

Where do people who oppose piracy get their funding?

Oh yeah, the morons paying for shit they could be getting for free.

Thanks, dumbasses. Keep working against your own interests because you’re too stupid to even realize what they are.
