US government silences European travel agent (NYT)

BoingBoing finds a good one in the NYT today: There's this English bloke doing business out of the Canary Islands, servers in the Bahamas, organizing Hemingway trips to Cuba for Europeans. He had the misfortune of registering his domain names in the United States, though -- and the government says he might conceivably have helped Americans travel.

So eNom yanked his domain registrations with no warning, and won't let him transfer them -- he's now on another one of those secret lists that they don't have public rules for.

Good job, America. Shining beacon on the hill, go us!
