I'm not an expert but it seems to be legal and even constitutional. It's offensive, but if you mad-libbed the story, I'm betting it would seem less offensive.

I'm not an expert but it seems to be legal and even constitutional. It's offensive, but if you mad-libbed the story, I'm betting it would seem less offensive. The US Government siezed __number__ of __noun plural__ because of suspected __illegal verb__. I was upset when I read the headlines as well. Mostly because of what I inferred -- not because of what happened. My only worry is that one sad effect of this precedent might be people having their domains taken from them because a small number of users use the service for illegal activity. EDIT: There's another post on the front page right now which says what I wanted to say much more eloquently: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1946154 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1946154
