when did opennic take on the role of providing dns to sites of 
questionable legal status? in my view, hosting these things on specific 
servers which easily identify the individuals involved is generally a 
bad idea. if you don't associate opennic with this sort of activity, you 
won't need legal protection because no one will have a case against any 
of the operators.
