I suspect that the domain flightgear.us domain could be "pulled" on the grounds othat is doesn't meet the on of the following requirements:- from http://www.dot.us/faqs/ :- " * A natural person (i) who is a citizen or permanent resident of the United States of America or any of its possessions or territories or (ii) whose primary place of domicile is in the United States of America or any of its possessions, or * Any entity or organization that is incorporated within one of the fifty (50) U.S. states, the District of Columbia, or any of the United States possessions or territories or (ii) organized or otherwise constituted under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia, or any of its possessions or territories, or * An entity or organization (including federal, state, or local government of the United States, or a political subdivision thereof) that has a bona fide presence in the United States. See Section B.3.1 of the NeuStar proposal to the Department of Commerce for details concerning what constitutes a “bona fide presence.“ " I think the whois record detail fails on all accounts. The only US address is the hosting provider which isn't sufficient for the details above. > The second thing to consider, is how to stop the next guy from doing the > same thing. yes, it's could be a game of whack-an-affiliate but should become easier as the FG.o community gets better. I'm nearly ready to buy a copy and then go and complain to Consumer Affairs or even the law enforcement. If DVD piracy has been linked in the past to organised crime, could the same apply to FPS and their cronies?
