Re: [At-Large] wikileaks incident... comment(s)

If judges aren't educated on the issue of DNS, and other internet domain issues - well, it is likely they will make judgements that really don't make sense.

My understanding of the Wikileaks issue, based on reviewing some of the pleadings, is that the Order requiring the registrar to take down the DNS records was negotiated between the plaintiff and the defendant registrar, Dynadot. The two of them stipulated to this result, and then simply presented a pre-agreed order to the judge to be approved and signed. If plaintiff and defendant stipulate to something, the stipulations usually are signed without much judicial review. -- Bret
