The domain seizures by the United States authorities in recent days and upcoming legislation that could make similar takeovers even easier in the future, have inspired a group of enthusiasts to come up with a new, decentralized and BitTorrent-powered DNS system. This system will exchange DNS information through peer-to-peer transfers and will work with a new .p2p domain extension.

awesome. The government just doesn't realize that in this tangled web we call the internet. There is no master "off" switch. There are more people working for the freedom of information than those working to lock it up.

Wouldn't IPv6, eventually, do away with the pyramid shaped DNS server structure? It seems to me it has been written on how existing DNS schema can work with IPv6.

This is significant to me because, it seems to me that Microsoft's Active Directory, part of a network operating system on a local lan, is driven by current DNS. Where it accommodates hierarchical organizational structures, that point up to a "central authority".
