U.S. Government Seizes Domains.

It’s for security reasons so it’s okay right? I mean they would never use the power granted to do anything but secure the people… 😯

U.S. Government Seizes BitTorrent Search Engine Domain and More

Following on the heels of this week’s domain seizure of a large hiphop file-sharing links forum, it’s clear today that the U.S. Government has been very busy. Without any need for COICA, ICE has just seized the domain of a BitTorrent meta-search engine along with those belonging to other music linking sites and several others which appear to be connected to physical counterfeit goods.

While complex, it’s still possible for U.S. authorities and copyright groups to point at a fully-fledged BitTorrent site with a tracker and say “that’s an infringing site.” When one looks at a site which hosts torrents but operates no tracker, the finger pointing becomes quite a bit more difficult.

When a site has no tracker, carries no torrents, lists no copyright works unless someone searches for them and responds just like Google, accusing it of infringement becomes somewhat of a minefield – unless you’re ICE Homeland Security Investigations that is.

This morning, visitors to the Torrent-Finder.com site are greeted with an ominous graphic which indicates that ICE have seized the site’s domain.

I really wonder if GWB in office would this get a pass? Would this be a fascist take over of our liberties? Of course it would, but since “Duh Won” is in office… Crickets chirping…

Be very careful America about which you give up. The America you once lived in with freedom is soon becoming a nation of anything but. Where will the line be drawn for you to stand? When they come to your home at take your salt and firearms? It’s for the good of the American people right?

We are in dangerous waters y’all.
