Fraudulent Use Of Country Code Domains

[charlie]

If this problem expands not only in the UK but in other major ccTLD’s, will people lose faith in their country code and lead to greater use of .com’s?

are the .com -ers are looking for a colapse in local domain extensions?

the logic doesn't work though, as with.com you have NO idea where they are, and many people use the anonymous WHOIS services.

It's one news story and trading standards failing to consult its own government departments over advice. Fortunately the story is getting more of an audience than it deserves, however the audience are not being educated through articles nor are any able to present a solution.

No, there is no worry over .co.uk however there are uk rules with regards privacy policy, addresses on sites for trading, neither of which did the chinese wholesaler have on their website, nor does he on his other site which is still trading and live - well was as of last night - that's how clued up the bbc and trading standards are.

Which in conclusion, we see trading standards blabbering on about how .co.uk being a free and open market is wrong instead of actually getting off their 'arris and doing some work and shutting down the site due to compliance issues and presenting a green paper on regulating websites through verified sales vendor mechanisms linked to a trading standards certificate, they decided it would be best to point the finger at Nominet, when in fact trading standards are the ones to blame for inaction, no forward planning and no real idea as to how to ensure safe online shopping and the management of such a policy which they are already tasked to oversee I would presume.

Now would someone please write about that and point the finger back at trading standards and inform the bbc that their lack of knowledge on the subject matter shows that they have failed to report on this news as accurately as they otherwise might have, had someone with a brain actually asked someone in the know about this sector for advice instead of pointing fingers off the back of failed research.

We here at the BBC are not wrong, and we do not have a sense of humour that we are aware of, thank you very much.

When you accuse the BBC of being wrong they really really don't like it.

One of their articles about the moon landing anniversary said that modern machines have 500gb memory compared to the 128kb nasa had. I corrected them and they deleted my comments and banned me Really does my head in when the so called educated an informed can't tell the difference between memory and storage grrr.

They said the same stuff on the drive time news around scott mills show too, I didn't hear it on TV tho so maybe the TV got it right. There was like 20 pages of comments on the story last I looked, and I can't be bothered going thru it to check if it replaced. I am however still banned.

I wonder if july 16th Radio news is still archived ?
