RE: [FreeDNS] ZA Namespace

[Anna Swanepoel <annas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yep, I know they're .ORG and .NET, that's why I assumed they would be safe
from govt interference, but just thought to make sure anyway...

I am in the process of printing the ECT Bill doc from the gov site....took
about 15 minutes to open the pdf file and the quality is so bad that it's
gonna take some time deciphering everything on those 42 pages.....mmmm....

Ops. Maybe I am an idiot, or else I'll say obvious
things. EIther way, sorry.

.Za.Net and ZA.ORG aren't .ZA domain names.
They are .NET an .ORG subdomains. They
were registered exactly I would register
mycompany.com.

I assume that the S. Africa government
won't/cannot make any claim on domains that
belong to the .NET and .ORG TLDs.
In fact these are meant to be international
and .Za.Net/.Za.Org despite their appearence,
are third level domains of international TLDs.
