[ga] Some DNS Requests Ruled Illegal in North Dakota

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  FYI see: http://www.circleid.com/posts/811611_david_ritz_court_spam/

A judge in North Dakota has just ruled that requesting a zone transfer
from
a public DNS server is criminal activity within the meaning of the North

Dakota Computer Crimes Law. A zone transfer is a simple request that a
DNS server hand over information in bulk, and a DNS server may be
configured to allow or deny such requests. That the owner of a DNS
server
would configure the server to allow such requests, and then claim such
requests were unauthorized, is simply stunning."

liability depends upon whether B is less than L multiplied by
P: i.e., whether B is less than PL."
