Antigua gets OK to become copyright haven

In an indirect but personal way, I'm seriously worried about this. My name is Chirag and for well over a decade now, I've shared my life, photos, projects, and art on http://chir.ag

I know .ly domains became a concern because of political turmoil in Libya. Is there anything I can do to keep my site (10k+ visitors/day) accessible if US decides to block all .ag domains? I haven't come across any famous .ag domains unlike bit.ly for .ly. Is there a chance my site could be blocked because of the domain name? I have nightly backups of all the data but the site has become so integral to my life (in addition to my email address), that I would be heartbroken if I have to give it up.

You're probably ok. I think the biggest issue with .ly domains was the Libyan government deciding that certain activities[1] were unacceptable on their TLD.

I don't think the Antiguan government is going to repossess anyone's domain names.

Also, I have to say that video of your ducks terrorizing the dog and cat is adorable and hilarious :)

Wow, small world! Didn't I meet you before sometime? Maybe at a Fark party in Florida?

Yup. I remember you. Was it racetrack or HoJos?
