Today's news that Julian Assange will host his own chat show reverberated around media circles today. Rove went to LA and couldn’t manage to make a fist of it so maybe this eminent Aussie expat can.
While Assange is undoubtedly high profile, there’s an old maxim in journalism that if the subject of a story is worthy of a descriptor, they shouldn’t need to tell you so. Assange’s declaration that he is “one of the world’s most recognizable revolutionary figures” probably says a lot.
Digging deeper, a search on the domain registration of Quick Roll Productions, the company licensing the chat show, opens this can of worms about the people taking care of their website.
Yes, they're a bona fide domain registration company, but even a cursory search will show there are scores of domains under their wing that are dodgy as hell. They should do something about that.
The point being that in this connected world, self-appointed cops need to make sure their backyards are squeaky clean.

You have misunderstood 'the can of worms'.
namecheap.com is a perfectly fine and legitimate domain registration company.
The issue in the thread that you linked to is related to the website 'wefeminist.com' and not the domain registration company.
