Feds Seize 130+ Domain Names in Mass Crackdown
Recall last February, when the U.S. Government shut down 84,000 websites by mistake. They also shut down "potential" infringing sites prior to the Superbowl.
US authorities have initiated the largest round of domain name seizures yet as part of their continued crackdown on counterfeit and piracy-related websites. With just a few days to go until “Cyber Monday” more than 100 domain names have been taken over by the feds to protect the commercial interests of US companies. The seizures are disputable, as the SOPA bill which aims to specifically legitimize such actions is still pending in Congress ... The fact that the authorities have once again launched a large crackdown on “rogue” websites begs the question why this legislation is needed in the first place. Apparently, the current system already allows for the seizure of domain names, without due process and all the other constitutional issues.See: Torrent Freak article in full
