The U.S. Department of Commerce has proposed new customer verification requirements for Infrastructure as a Service providers. The goal of the 'Know Your Customer' regime is to prevent fraud and abuse, including piracy. In response to this plan, prominent rightsholders want the department to expand the proposal's scope to include domain name registrars and registries. Ideally, they argue, domain companies should also be required to take down pirate domains.
They just want private Corporate Gestapo. Which is totally better than Government run Gestapo. Private "Corporations" always make the right choices.

46Nothing screams freedom like the surveillance of everyone's communications by a faceless secret police because terrorism and pedophilia ((exist)) — nevermind that the secret police are often the ones engaging in terrorism and pedophilia.
Don't worry, though. Surveillance capitalism is the one true arbiter or morality and ethics. It's not like capitalism has ever profited from murder, authoritarianism, or oppression... unless you're black, or brown, or poor, or female, or atheist, or a worker... filthy commoners.
