Do these media companies not realize that basically anyone can run a
recursive DNS resolver in their home network, querying authoritative
nameservers rather than forwarding lookups to third-party services?
I've done that for years to get around the failure of my ISP to
properly support DNSSEC, for example.

Or is this just another sign that general-purpose computers are
destined to be outlawed?
