Adam Curry explains how he registered the MTV.com domain and initially ran a Gopher server on it. This led to a legal dispute with the University of Minnesota over the commercial use of the Gopher protocol, which Curry eventually settled by agreeing to wear a university T-shirt on air.

### The Failure of Targeted Advertising and Social Bubbles

- **Episode:** [1118: Birth Strike](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1118-birth-strike.md)
- **Published:** 2019-03-08
- **Time:** 49:27–52:07
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1118-birth-strike/chapter/the-failure-of-targeted-advertising-and-social-bubbles.md

The early promise of the internet—receiving only relevant content and ads—is now viewed as a failure that created isolated social bubbles. While advertisers value the high-cost targeting provided by social media, the actual utility for users has diminished. The segment argues that businesses do not truly need a Facebook footprint to survive, citing local dry cleaners and gas stations as examples of successful offline operations.

### NSA Leak Theories, Technical Glitches and Speeding Tickets

- **Episode:** [548: Mournful Mortician](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/548-mournful-mortician.md)
- **Published:** 2013-09-15
- **Time:** 25:53–30:04
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/548-mournful-mortician/chapter/nsa-leak-theories-technical-glitches-and-speeding-tickets.md

A theory is proposed that the NSA document leaks were orchestrated by a competing agency, likely the CIA. Congressman Mike Rogers characterizes reported NSA privacy violations as mere "technical glitches" caused by changing internet protocols. This leads to a personal anecdote about receiving a $248 speeding ticket for going 94 mph in an 80 mph zone near Marfa, Texas.

### UK Twitter Libel, Pedophile Accusation Warnings

- **Published:** 2012-11-18

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/462-flaming-groovies/chapter/uk-twitter-libel-pedophile-accusation-warnings.md

The BBC broadcasts a report warning UK citizens that retweeting accusations of pedophilia can lead to libel lawsuits. The hosts argue this is a coordinated effort to protect politicians in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal. They clarify the legal differences between libel and slander while mocking the "internet protocol" tracking threats.

### IPv6 Transition and Domain Name System Security

- **Episode:** [414: Thingamajig](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/414-thingamajig.md)
- **Published:** 2012-06-03
- **Time:** 14:12–20:47
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/414-thingamajig/chapter/ipv6-transition-and-domain-name-system-security.md

The transition to IPv6 is discussed as a technical shift that complicates direct IP addressing due to the length of the new addresses. While organizations like ICANN warn that international interference could break the Domain Name System (DNS), the underlying TCP/IP network is viewed as too decentralized for total government control. The fear of a "broken internet" is characterized as a narrative used by various global powers to maintain their own influence over naming conventions.

### Internet Protocol Changes and Botnet Regulation

- **Episode:** [398: Zombie Gun](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/398-zombie-gun.md)
- **Published:** 2012-04-08
- **Time:** 1:28:12–1:33:00
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/398-zombie-gun/chapter/internet-protocol-changes-and-botnet-regulation.md

The Cybersecurity Act also seeks to accelerate the deployment of "secure" versions of fundamental internet protocols, including DNS and routing. The hosts warn that this gives the government the ability to manipulate the core architecture of the internet. The bill also targets botnets, which the hosts note could have significant implications for the online advertising industry.
