The judge in the Spamhaus case has issued an order denying the plaintiff an injunction against ICANN ordering it to cut off Spamhaus’s domain name. Because ICANN wasn’t a party to the litigation, he cited Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(d) and denied the injunction.
Which was exactly what I predicted in a blog post yesterday, one eaten by a crashing browser about ten words from completion. Spamhaus has not exactly been litigating intelligently, but the world is not end-coming. It’s nice to see the normal protections of due process protecting normally.
