--- From: "Ali Farshchian" <aliat_private> To: <declanat_private> Subject: Report on Reaction to Zuccarini's Arrest Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2003 18:55:37 -0700 Declan, CircleID has done a special coverage on public's response to Zuccarini's arrest that might be of interest to Politech readers -- particularly as many of the comments are significantly different from what has been publicized by the media. As you know, On September 3, 2003, United States federal law enforcement officers arrested the notorious John Zuccarini accused of allegedly creating misleading domain names to deceive children and direct them to pornographic websites. As reported by the media, Zuccarini's arrest was the first to be made under the "Truth in Domain Names Act", which took effect earlier this year prohibiting people from creating misleading domain names as a means to deceive children into viewing content that's harmful to minors (or tricking adults into clicking on obscene websites). What follows (and not covered in the media) is a special report on a *growing* collection of commentaries made in response to Zuccarini's arrest around the net and by legal experts...
