Under SOPA, a name server that accurately mirrors the zones for that domain is illegal. http://wendy.seltzer.org/blog/archives/2011/12/15/stopping-s...


Ok, so it could be considered illegal in the US -- but it's not in the US, nor has anything to do with the US. If someone is running an accurate name server outside the US, with no ties to the US, that does no business with the US, the US can say it's "illegal" all they want but it's still there.

Yes.


We've been through this in Germany. When the Zugangserschwerungsgesetz passed Blogs and Forums were full with tutorials about how you can change the name server in various operating systems. The Zugangserschwerungsgesetz was never implemented so we don't know how many people would have actually used an alternative resolver.
