.Sy is the ccTLD for Syria which is run by an agency of the Syrian government.

“Penalties for each violation could include OFAC civil penalties of up to $250k or twice the value of the transaction. DOJ may also pursue criminal penalties, up to $1m and 20 years in prison.”

wow, i love domain hacks, but I would never register hacks with countries with bad reputations, ie .sy (syria), .ir (iran) , .ly (libya)
Artsy should just wait for .web and register artsy.web and problem solved

I'm going to register Oop.sy for all those who go to jail because they didn't know this.
