Homeland Security ICE Seizing Sites for no Reason?
Interesting article about how the US government is stepping in as an attempt to prevent copyright infringement on the net, but are innocent sites being caught in the cross-fire?
- bradhe 16y agoSo the example they give here is onsmash.com. What's interesting is the domain still resolves to an IP in what looks like a CaroNet colo in North Carolina. How are they taking over these domains I wonder? Or are they forcing the sites to host the take down notice on their own hardware?
- scottfowles 16y agoHmm... good question. Maybe this site just happened to be on an IP block that had a ton of torrent sites since I'm pretty sure that's what ICE targeted, and got caught in the cross-fire? I think the saddest part of this is that the music industry is already in enough turmoil without the govt. seizing their internet marketing opportunities.
