An article in the Miami Herald brings up an interesting question. When a person is intentionally diverting web traffic through use of domain names in order to protest a practice he finds wrong, where are the limits?
While it is clear that speech rights should always be paramount on the Internet, we have law that makes it a felony to divert unsuspecting children to pornographic websites. Would it work the same way if an unsuspecting person (who might be a child) who is attempting to send email to Carrie-Anne Moss, finds herself face to face with graphic photos of aborted fetuses?
