Re: A DNS security issue that might actually have impact eventually

[Randy Bush <[e-mail]>]

the internet was a disruptive technology, and has been used for good,
bad, and indifferent.  thanks to societal forces, ongoing development of
disrupptive tools is at the edge, not the core.  bitcoin, namecoin, ...
are new disruptive technologies routing around the ossification,
cooption, and greed of the internet by LEO, NSA, ICANN, MPAA, ....
these new tools will be used for good, bad, and indifferent.

the tools which worry me are the ones where the use is only bad, e.g.
the spymall catalog.

heal us from disease.
