[quote:Anonymous Coward 1135775:MV8xMjY5MjY4XzIwNzE0NDgxXzgxNEREMjhB] Funny, I was just reading this article: "According to a report at TorrentFreak, the search engine that was shut down -- Torrent-Finder.com -- neither hosted copyrighted material nor directly linked to places where it could be found. Instead, the site opened new windows to sites that did link to file-sharing materials." http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/11/homeland-security-shuts-dozens-sites/ Now, if you have a site that is opening up holes/windows to others sites that offer illegal downloads, then you are a target. Hmmmm. Doesn't that mean they should be seizing Google as well? Just a thought. [/quote]
Original Message
The sites are replaced with a note from the government: "This domain named has been seized by ICE, Homeland Security Investigations."
For instance, 2009jersey.com, 51607.com, and amoyhy.com have each been seized.
One of the site owners told TorrentFreak that his site was shut down without any notice or warning.
The effort come as Congress considers the Combatting Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA). Critics, including Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) say it is too heavy-handed. He has vowed to put a formal hold on the bill.
