Actually, in this case, I was answering a thread by John Barryhill.
It may be that Registrars accepting registrations from proscribed countries
are violating the law. This is basic source material. 

I have been up to my eye-balls all day with W32/Nimda. I'm sorry that I
didn't have time for a more user-friendly intro. I admit, that out of
context, it does seem out of topic, without an accompanying explanation.
