I have a doubt, if megaupload would have been megaupload.hk instead of .com, could the fbi have acted the same way?

- nextparadigms 15y agoI think so, because they also claimed Megaupload had some servers in US. But their case would've probably been weaker then. I think this power to take down .com, .net .org domains comes mostly from the Pro IP Act from 2008 that passed right before our noses, just like SOPA almost did. If we want DHS to stop doing this, we'll need to get the Pro IP Act repealed.
