US Government Domain Seizures Failing Miserably

Post by Sabre »

Torrent Freak link
Operation In Our Sites, a US Government-led domain seizure action to deal with piracy, is pretty much a failure. TorrentFreak has examined a significant number of sites that have gone on pretty much unhindered, despite the seizures. Already some questions have been asked about the constitutionality of the seizures, and the evidence used as justification, but it seems the end results weren't as good as boasted either.
Shocker for all of us I know :roll:

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

there are no rules/laws about domain takedowns by governments last I checked. hell, the registrar or TLDN can drop it if they want.
