[ale] Blacklisted?

[Jim Kinney]

Pictures taken on a trip to a country they don't like/approve of?

I can see a DoS happening by 'borrowing" a domain through a DNS redirect
then sending buckets of spam and crud to get that site blocked. Now drop
the DNS spoof/redirect and legit site is blocked.
Can be done with an IP that is "close" when a legit site has a block of IPs
as a sloppy network admin blocks a bigger subnet.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
