> The Pirate Bay Co-Founder, Peter Sunde, has started a new project  
> which
> will provide a decentralized p2p based DNS system. This is a direct
> result of the increasing control which the US government has over  
> ICANN.
> The project is called P2P-DNS and according to the project's wiki,  
> this
> is how the project is described: 'P2P-DNS is a community project that
> will free internet users from imperial control of DNS by ICANN. In  
> order
> to prevent unjust prosecution or denial of service, P2P-DNS will  
> operate
> as a distributed and less centralized service hosted by the users of
> DNS. Temporary substitutes, (as Alpha and Beta developments), are  
> being
> made ready for deployment. A network with no centralized points of
> failure, (per the original design of the internet), remains our goal.
> P2P-DNS is developing rapidly.'
