Well, you can read what the RIAA thinks about it, along with an informationless non-statement from ICE: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111209/03385017020/ic

Well, you can read what the RIAA thinks about it, along with an informationless non-statement from ICE: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111209/03385017020/ice-admits-to-returning-domain-while-riaa-threatens-dajaz1-with-more-legal-actions.shtml http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111209/03385017020/ice-ad... Or you can read the almost-totally-redacted FOIA document dump: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111214/03264917079/freedom-information-document-dump-ice-about-domain-seizures-almost-totally-redacted.shtml http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111214/03264917079/freedo... The court case is under seal, so I can't point you to any relevant court documents. Heck, even Senator Wyden raised a fuss about it: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/12/wyden-domain-seizure/ http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/12/wyden-domain-seizur... I don't have much reason to doubt the accounting of events described in the TechDirt article -- although it does contain a fair amount of editorializing. If the government would remove the seal and speak up instead of remaining mum, we'd have another side to the story, and maybe we could eliminate this perceived "bias".
