Wouldn't you know the one of the very few "non-HDMP" aspects of the Internet, the DNS (very centralized), would be sought out and attacked (or be the center of a control struggle, which is the same thing as an attack) by the control freak world governments.
My thinking is this will just likely have the anti-control techies (FOSS people) innovate right around this. Some sort of much more dynamic and P2P-like system will come to be, rendering DNS obsolete at roughly the same rate DNS becomes embroiled and encumbered.
Wow! So much software has the DNS assumption hardwired into it. I see lots and lots of code rework headaches (and it will spill into architecture and design) ahead, regardless of the short-term outcome.
You know, thanks to the MPAA/RIAA, the anonymous and untraceable P2P mechanisms seem like a very natural fit. LOL! The governments will argue over control of a thing that will inevitably be organically abandoned due to its inherent tight-coupling weaknesses. Ah, the incredibly seducive illusion of power of "centralized control and force" versus the "real" power of "HDMP (Highly Distributed and Massively Parallel) and influence".
