> You can always host it yourself. Are you unable to purchase a computer or rent a static IP address?
I'm starting to think that can't be counted on as a viable option. It's one thing to deny someone access to a particular platform (e.g. Facebook), it's quite another to deny access to basic infrastructure services (e.g. DNS) for something that isn't actually illegal. The former should not utility-like access rules, but the latter probably should.

That still places you at the mercy of your Internet provider.

And that is why my position on this debate is that Internet access- the pipes, the ability to send data from one computer to another that requested the data- should be treated like a utility. I still think a site should be able to deny your request for data as they see fit though
Edit: Actually, with Tor the static IP should be unnecessary. All you need is a computer and an Internet connection.
