Using 4LW to reach sites with domains seized by the DHS

Its a cool idea, but ultimately it won't help, because sites like these are only worth something if a lot of people know they are there.

A better solution is to create a de-centralized DNS system.

I suspect we are more likely to see splinter DNS networks get set up and people will just learn how to add these servers to their configs for name resolution...

Can also see a future where the public Internet is deemed completely untrustworthy and everyone just connects with trusted parties over VPNs....

I suspect even more that nothing will actually happen. People know there's risk in running torrent sites, they bet the ad revenue will outweigh it and eventually they lose.

Yeah, then the Internet could route around the damage, as designed.
