So, Comcast recently instituted a new Internet security measure, Domain Name System Security Extensions, aka DNSSEC. The main thing you need to know about DNSSEC is that it keeps you from typing in one website and being sent to another, called DNS rerouting, and something you’ve experienced if you have one of those viruses that sends you to a porn site every time you open a new tab.
Funny thing about that…DNS rerouting is the precise tool that SOPA is designed to use to kill all those nasty website that the MPAA and RIAA doesn’t like. Oopsie!
Why, yes, this is part of that whole “SOPA will hurt the Internet” thing. Funny you should bring that up.
