Don't be afraid. There is a reality and there is the ICANN hirearchical

Politicians have found that a very long ago. And this is the whole issue
today. They even found that GW did not need a court order to attack their
country in using the Internet weapon.
Resistance also found that a long ago. e-Underground in many countries,
including USA, uses hosts.txt to access cancelled sites. The only
difference is that it goes faster.
