They also claim to have worked with Porkbun to seize control over the domain. I very much dislike threat actors, but this is way too far.

- mind-blight 4y agoThat's actually pretty standard for copyright infringement - and this goes well above copyright infringement. Impersonating someone to steal or defraud a company or person is definitely illegal, and seizing the assets used to commit fraud is a reasonable response. If there were grey areas (e.g. the cloudflaresucks.com example given above, or a parody), I would get the concern. But this seems pretty cut and dry
- Mo3 4y agoThe concern isn't about the matter itself, it's about companies seizing private property without having to go through the court system. Seizing the domain is likely a reasonable response, but why exactly should businesses be allowed to play judge and enforce the law like that?
