Guess again. These types of rerouting has been happening for the past 4 years that I have seen, and it is not a simple DNS rerouting issue, it is a lot more sophisticated than I had imagined, but we had ways to prevent it when we needed to. Although it appears to be a negative story on the surface, it may not be.
Also, you refer to the Internet as "we share it" with the world, it is the reverse actually; we only shared the IP protocol.
