Feds seize 130 Domain Names

[DrLeftover]

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 Department of Justice (DOJ) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have resumed “Operation In Our Sites”, the domain name seizing initiative designed to crack down on online piracy and counterfeiting.

It appears almost all are sports related sites. Selling fake product, or what?

Rightly so and end of conversation as far as I'm concerned.

Either that or making people download malware...

Oh yeah, I guess eh. Sometimes I'm simple.
