Good question, I was wondering this too. From Wikipedia, I found:
> .cc is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an Australian territory. It is administered by a United States company, VeriSign, through a subsidiary company, eNIC, which promotes it for international registration as "the next .com".
that might work, yes. I wouldn't expect it to last forever though because the US gov doesn't like jurisdictions that evade their power. Russians could seize it if they felt like it too. I have some experience with that.
Ideally you would exploit bad diplomatic relations between nations to keep things running. Mutually non cooperative jurisdictions can actually be good for the internet. I do think the intention of the US gov is to completely control the internet though, copyright and DRM violations being a major motivation. As much as they claim they are about 'cooperation and collaboration' or some other nonsense, it's really about hard power.
well .su is Russia. Not sure how to say this without pissing a lot of people off but it would not surprise me if there were some treaties they signed to cooperate with US LE in the not-so-distant future based on how things are going. Also they can seize the domain for themselves.
the .to domain I believe can be seized but I don't know the conditions. .is can be seized but it is rare. The other thing is that treaties can be changed and the US can strong-arm people. Right now they work, I don't know if they always will.
They would really only take it down if Russian media was on there and they complained in Russian court. That’s why rutracker got in trouble. No local victim = no crime according to Russia and in practice most countries actually. Problem is libgen has lots of Russian stuff.
