RIAA to .ORG Registry: Take down ThePirateBay

First of all, it can be relevant if the provider of the domain is subject to US laws. But right now it's relevant because TPB claimed to be DMCA-compliant. Whether or not they legally have to be compliant is not relevant to whether they are compliant.

What they claim is irrelevant.

Do you really think the DMCA embodies some universal moral code? That's the only way what you're saying would make any sense.

I'm claiming that TPB is lying. I'm not sure why that would be irrelevant.

I don't care about that, I was only replying to your implicit statement that US law somehow should apply universally.

I'm not sure you even understand why someone would object to this, so I don't think we need to discuss this any further.

I never made such a statement, and don't believe it.

Considering they're not in the US they are DMCA-compliant no? Compliant as far as compliance is required for non US states..
