Well, at least the new TLDs will promote DNS-based cruft filtration. You can already safely ignore anything with a .name, .biz, .info, .tv suffix, to name just the worst. If only there was a way to get the cruft to move over into the new ones... On Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 1:05 PM, John Levine <[EMAIL

The good news about a DillTorrent solution is that at least the user and ISP interests are aligned; there's no reason for the ISP to have the guru lie to the users (because you just know someone'll try it). However, it does require considerable trust from the users that it will actually lead to a b
