In an article titled “ICANN and Your Internet Abuse“, Garth Bruen’s article on CircleID blasts ICANN’s lack of enforcing compliance to a domain registrar.
The culprit appears to be a number of issues with the ICANN accredited registrar, BizCn, which is based in China.
According to Bruen, BizCn has been “cited as a comfortable home to drug-dealing sites as well as trademark infringement”.
ICANN 46 was held in Beijing, China.
The cherry on the pie appears to be the domain and web site Rapetube.org, which “offers the most heinous and sick material, which is beyond any other Internet trash” and which is using fake WHOIS information, matching that of “at least 1000 other illicit sites sponsored by BizCn.”
Bruen states that BizCn failed to suspend the domain names in question, while at the same time, ICANN maintains a stand-offish approach to the matter, not wanting to jeopardize its relationship with the Chinese registrar.
Furthermore, BizCn does not seem to provide access to WHOIS data via port 43, in violation of the accreditation contract.
