Does anyone have any experience purchasing .ly domains? Anything I should be aware of before I do?
I'm thinking of purchasing a .ly domain name for a project I'd like to work on, and a couple of good ones are available. As far as I can tell, though, none of the bigger domain registrars offer .ly names; they only seem to be offered by Libyan registrars (which I suppose makes sense), so before I give them my money, I'd like to make sure I know about any possible pitfalls. Do any of you MeFites have any experience with this, and is there anything I should know?

Response by poster: Yeah, no, it wouldn't be anything that would run afoul of what they mentioned on that link. Thanks for it, though, very interesting stuff.

It doesn't seem to be strictly enforced (otherwise Bit.ly would surely have had problems), and you'll probably be fine, but it's worth taking time to assess the risk (especially if you may be offering content/services which could attract unwanted attention in Libya).
