There is but one flag on the moon and it's red, white and blue. The USA owns earth, the moon and the whole God damned universe, and that includes the internets. Both of them. So don't think for a nanosecond that she won't snatch your domain should she wake up one morning and decide she wants it.

It's this kind of arrogance that makes me happy to see Asia rising. US power is dwindling day by day. You have 4 more stages to go through, but enjoy the denial.

Lemme understand something...most of you bitch about these sorts of sites that are sharing your porn, but you then bitch when the US govt snags a domain with one of these sites that focuses more on general piracy? Allllright.

An arrest (a seizure) can be made under the "plain sight rule" ? without a warrant. When a crime is being committed in "plain sight."

Commercial infringement is a 5 year felony (a crime).

Seizure is not forfeiture. Seized property can be ordered returned by a court.

Quote:

United States Constitution Bill of Rights Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

That's correct. However, what people forget is there is a long running debate over the legitimacy of seizing property in this manner. Not only in the digital space, but also offline. If someones livelihood is his business and it is seized (lets say on false grounds) he no longer has the means to defend himself in court. The Government naturally loves this method, but many many legal people do not consider it just.

This is a fair example. Torrent-finder (there is some talk it was a hoax mind you), but assuming it was not. Torrent-finder may well be operating within the relevant DMCA laws, but the Government agencies carefully picked targets that are incapable of fighting back once they loose their possessions.

According to a Wall Street Journal article the domains were seized with court warrants ...

Quote:

"A federal crackdown that shut more than 70 websites last week is the latest sign of an escalating war against counterfeit and pirated products, using legal tactics that may be closely scrutinized by civil-liberties groups.

Domain names of the affected sites?which offered such diverse goods as scarves, golf gear and rap music?were seized by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, part of the Department of Homeland Security, under court-approved warrants."

If the guys with the tin foil hats thought for a second they would ask themselves why haven't they seized Wikileaks yet?

If there was one site the US and MANY MANY countries would love to see closed it's that one.
