"The internet's authoritative source for time-zone data has been shut down after the volunteer programmer who maintained it was sued for copyright infringement by a maker of astrology software."

This is a new event and it poses a serious issue for the Unix/Linux and Internet communities.

ICANN to the rescue: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/16 … _database/

Looks like a happy ending so I'm marking this solved :-)
