The city has recently been selling off .nyc addresses, even though Garrin repeatedly has explained that he created the .nyc top-level domain name — and .sex, .chat, .art and many, many more — as early as 1996. He’s been operating all of them on “alternate root,” outside of the main Internet that we all use, because the powers that be, a.k.a. ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), won’t let him into the “main root.” Now that the options of Internet suffix possibilities are finally being expanded, the East Village tech pioneer isn’t willing to give up what’s his. And why should he? He’s working to raise $75,000 for his lawsuit in federal court against ICANN. As part of his plan to sell .nyc addresses, profits would be funneled back into social-justice causes, like equipping schools with laptops or buying back the old P.S. 64 / CHARAS and restoring it as
 a community center. (Oh well, it may be too late for that last one, unfortunately.) You can help Garrin by donating at rally.org/namespace.

So a squatter thinks he has a right to what he squatted on?  How
    does that work with real property?  (Hint: the sheriff evicts.)

Whatever some may think about the little guy vs. power, alternate
    roots are not a good thing.  (Insert standard list of reasons here.)

Please don't donate to this cause.
