That's an interesting move. I'm not against it, I'm just curious about the consequences. So, DALnet is the first network to impose censorship on IRC channels. DMCA has you cool

I expect their next step will be logging private and channel conversations with the noble intention to fight script kiddies and international terrorists. After that, it seems reasonable to ban channels that aren't politically correct. FemoServ will track and report male chauvinists and GayServ will protect sexual minorities.

Just kidding, of course. Let's live and see.
