Can someone considerably smarter than me, with time to spare, please just find a way to federate/decentralize DNS.
I can fathom that it is complicated, maybe even impossible in the current setup, but the internet we all grew to love dies a little bit more each time the mouth breathers try to restrict it on behalf of capitalism.
Maybe remembering ip addresses can fill the void of not having to remember phone numbers anymore?
Even remembering IP addresses isn't a great because services can change IP addresses at any point.
As others have mentioned DNS, by its design, is decentralized...to a point. If you run your own DNS, you can't be an authority to .com addresses for example. Even that sentence has caveats.
Generally speaking you can run your own DNS that uses root DNS servers. MPAA and others have attempted to get those servers to stop pirate domains from being resolvable but they've essentially said "fuck off".
IMO, that's going to be the last battleground, at which point pirating will have no choice but to move to tor and/or to I2P.
