Do you believe there will be the potential for future harm to the internet and information systems industry in the U.S.? Particularly, do you believe it would be possible for DNS servers to simply be set up in another country? I know with high frequency trading there is a push to set up shop in Africa because of the location. Is it possible we could see the same happen with key pieces of internet infrastructure?
To clarify, it appears to me the U.S. legislature is enacting this law thinking that other countries won't find alternative avenues of delivering content. It also seems naive to assume people in the U.S. won't find a simple way around any DNS blocks set up by ISPs or the government.
Do you also believe the business model used by Riot can be applied to Music or movies? In my opinion, the microtransaction system as well as a free to play client seems to address the primary motivations for pirating software. It would be great if the RIAA and MPAA could rethink their primary methods of distribution to essentially pull the rug out from under pirates.
Also are there internships, or entry level jobs, available in the legal department at Riot? I graduate in May and I live very close to Riot HQ.
