These seizures are probably illegal based on 4th amendment issues. No due process in the seizing. See this opinion: http://www.copyhype.com/2011/03/ice-seizure

Senators were calling for more information on their activity at the end of last year but I don't remember hearing much more on it.
The interesting part is where international laws come into play. The issue really hasn't been resolved, but in the mean time, domains continue to be seized.
And they have been making lots of mistakes like when they took a dynamic dns's server mooo.com and it's 84,000 subdomains for one account's alleged actions. See: http://www.informationweek.com/news/security/vulnerabilities/229218959?subSection=government http://www.informationweek.com/news/security/vulnerabilities...
What they are doing is twisting an existing law on the books to apply to domains and playing cowboy off tips by the MPAA and RIAA. Domains getting taken away without notice or due process. It makes me sick.
