North Dakota Judge makes zone transfers illegal

[complacent]

I swear I'm not making this up. Look here.

What the ???!?!?!?!!?!?!??!?!?!

“Ritz’s behavior in conducting a zone transfer was unauthorized within the meaning of the North Dakota Computer Crime Law.” You might not know what a zone transfer is, but I do. It’s asking a DNS server for all the particular public info it provides about a given domain. This is a common task performed by system administrators for many purposes. The judge is saying that DNS zone transfers are now illegal in North Dakota.

I think I need to sit down. There's only so much stupid I can handle at one time...

This is the problem with a legal system that does not keep up with the times. The Internet revolution happened so quickly (relatively speaking) that the processes and people involved in them have not been able to keep up. Seeing how much it takes to become a judge and the present judges inability to learn new topics, it's going to be this way for some time.

Very sad too.

That's so stupid I can't even see straight anymore.
