I realise the source is a blog, but felt it was news. If you wanna move it, It's all good.:thumbsup:
First copyright infringement (& even then that's tainted) Next freedom of speech.
The Homeland Security Department's customs enforcement division has gone on a Web site shutdown spree, closing down at least 76 domains this week, according to online reports.
While many of the web domains were sites that trafficked in counterfeit brand name goods, and some others linked to copyright-infringing file-sharing materials, at least one site was a Google-like search engine, causing alarm among web freedom advocates who worry the move steps over the line into censorship.
All the shut sites are now displaying a Homeland Security warning that copyright infringers can face up to five years in prison.

Fuck them!

Edit: forgot the source. :facepalm:

Which thread was that?

YAY!
Does that matter? If they wanted to, they'd just do shit unannounced instead of leaving banners.
I'm pretty sure there's no recourse whatsoever to take given that the US hasn't recognize the world courts since Bush.
