ICE Seizes More Domains Today, Admin Says “We’ll Be Back”

Yesterday and without warning, US authorities resumed “Operation In Our Sites” seizing several domain names associated with copyright infringement and counterfeiting. Today, yet more domains were added to the growing list. TorrentFreak caught up with one site owner who told us that while they were taken by surprise by a “pointless” seizure, they’ll soon be back.

domain seizure As indicated in our exclusive report yesterday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have resumed “Operation In Our Sites”, the domain name seizing initiative designed to crack down on copyright infringement.

Following on from the most recent set of seizures in February, yesterday’s action represents the fourth phase of the operation. The following six domains were taken:

* Re1ease.net
* Watchnewfilms.com
* Dvdcollectionsale.com
* Dvdscollection.com
* Dvdsetsonline.com
* Newstylerolex.com

Today the list has grown again to include the following:

* mygolfaccessory.com
* overbestmall.com

TorrentFreak managed to catch up with PiraCee, an admin at Re1ease.net, a portal that did not host any copyrighted material itself but linked to movie and TV shows on sites like Megavideo.com.

“We were not informed [that the seizure was imminent] in any way,” he told us. “I was just presented with the ICE image upon doing a page refresh.”

For those unfamiliar with the site, Re1ease.net was founded following PiraCee’s split with Ninjavideo.net in late 2008. NinjaVideo, readers will recall, succumbed to ICE raids in 2010 and never recovered.

While undoubtedly quite busy with around 10,000 visitors a day, Re1ease.net was not one the largest sites of its type on the Internet. Indeed, others with significantly higher levels of traffic remain intact, untouched by ICE.

“I don’t believe we were doing anything wrong at all. Many higher profile sites remain unaffected,” PiraCee told us.

So why was Re1ease singled out? Despite being operated from outside the United States, did they have a bad attitude to DMCA takedowns perhaps?

“We have only ever had two DMCA takedown requests – for Source Code and Hobo With a Shotgun,” PiraCee told us. “We removed both.”

But despite losing their domain, a body-blow event for any site, Re1ease.net aren’t giving in.

“We will be back,” said PiraCee, as the site mulled over a possible domain change this morning. “Give us about a week.”

That was a few hours ago though, and things move very quickly in this game.

“Scrrls.net will be our new domain and will be up and running soon as we fix our backend,” PiraCee assured us. Indeed, it appears to be fully functioning now.

TorrentFreak continues to monitor developments in phase 4 of Operation in Our Sites and if any additional domains are seized we will update this report.

why haven’t they siezed google yet
- Echo-Skywalker formerly hotdog
  
  why should they? explain?
  - Anonymous
    
    Yeah didn’t you hear? Google links to all kinds of copyright infringing files… Probably more than any website on the internet does.
    - http://pulse.yahoo.com/_FCNK7C55CBUYFVSC5LNWKB322E Buglord
      
      yep, if you have a hash, but don’t know what it is, google will link you straight to the many places the file(s) is.
    - Echo-Skywalker formerly hotdog
      
      Google runs youtube it runs many sites as a matter of fact right now google is fighting against the government because they are sick of riaa mpaa lobbying.Google is the number one site on the Internet so you don’t think for one second Google wouldn’t be taking the fucking heat?.
      So it’s alright to blame Google but how many sites are on the web?Matter of fact it even runs your blog frostyC.So the question just like constantly blaming the us for everything is what’s happening to Google.Google also pays me to make videos which you and i my friend make music.which is one step from not being taken from some major record label and allowing me you anyone to gain viewers etc.Seriously people stop blaming Google.
      If we start thinking about free speech remember Google right now is fighting for everyone. I feel like there is this fucking wall in front of ,me every time I have to repeat myself.”MPAA and RIAA are the enemies”NOT WEBSITES THAT INCLUDES GOOGLE YAHOO BING OR ANY OTHER SITE.”whether big or small.
    - bawlz formerly lawlz
      
      so you’re saying i shouldn’t hate everything google does because they host a search function and a video portal…and frosty’s blog?
      
      not that I have anything against google, but your arguments are weak. You might’ve been a formor hotdog but now I think you need more ketchup.
      
      I think most ppl who mention google here are joking, as in: Why take down so many sites that link to other sites when google is the mother of all links? – Simply pointing out that it’s useless because you can go and find new links everywhere else.
      
      You amuse though, cause you only read what you read, and then rage. A trained internet user would read what you just read, chuckle a bit over the irony and keep continue to not give a rat’s ass..
      
      I wanna rage more but got nothing important to say.
      ICE can play their game while we keep playing our game. Sooner or later they’ll realize that they’re noobs with no XP at all cause they stayed on level 1 bashing all the critter noone cares for. la la la.
      
      *puts hotdog in the microwave* …mmmmhhh :)

      lol my being a hotdog and people getting hungry makes me laugh.
      Who said I didn’t have a sense of humour.Secondly your wrong not everyone takes it as a joke.As matter of fact this isn’t a time for jokes. .I respect frostyc for his everyday. commentaries. Maybe I sounded on edge.But I’m really not.As far as reading goes I read practically everyone’s comments does that mean I have to agree with everyone or everything HELL NO!!
      LOl trained internet user is that a form of interwebz intelligence in leet speak?It’s all good!!When you find time for jokes i find time to make things clear.Basically fuck the government fuck ice fuck mpaa and riaa and all the little bitches waiting for hand outs so they can make my interwebz difficult.They fuck with my freedom I will fuck with them,
      I’m taking shit seriously when you’re sitting here cracking jokes. Now finally go back reading some of my comments throughout the last 2 years.Funny unfunny yada yada.It’s a regular day at the tf office.No need to get all hyped up for nada.

      1/ Please stop talking so fast.
      2/ Please use punctuation, spaces and capital/uppercase letters properly (e.g. ICE, RIAA, etc.) so it is easier for us to read you.
      3/ People who say ‘Google should be taken over by ICE’ do not mean it literally, they just mean that the ICE is being hypocritical, applies the law arbitrarily, and is too scared of Google to go after them. If you can’t understand sarcasm, it’s your problem, don’t say people say things they don’t and don’t start a debate over it.

      I don’t think he (or anyone else) is blaming Google, except when they do something anti-file-sharing…but I totally agree, even when they do something stupid, Google isn’t the enemy.

      I think everyone’s misunderstanding me today lol.This happens allot.My only seriousness is that google is fighting against government aswell as the fags at mafiaa.I’m not jumping on anyone.

      And I suppose even when they’re fighting the government for the right to break people’s privacy that makes them good?.The only fight for their own interests.

      If it happens ‘allot’ then it’s possibly a sign that you should do a lot more thinking before you get to the typing. You think you’re not jumping on anyone, but “why should they? explain?” could be perceived as that, especially when combined with your overly defensive replys. I think it’s actually you who is misunderstanding everyone. All the way back to the first comment “why haven’t they siezed google yet” which is very clearly a retort at the seizures, meaning ‘If the seizures are aimed at sites that link to copyright content then why has google.com not been seized since google links to more unauthorised copyright content than any other site? Or, if sites that link to copyright content are legal then why have those particular sites been seized even though they abide by DMCA regulations?’. It’s obviously not the attack on google that you thought it was, but mearly another example of the corruption surrounding the seizures and all anti-pirates. This has already been explained to you, but you replied with defensive comments. Don’t argue or say you was misunderstood. Just admit you was wrong, then drop it (then learn from it). You will earn a lot more respectability and credibility that way.

      If I rubbed off being or sounding rude I am more than willing to apologise.I wasn’t actually being rude to frostyC or anyone for that matter.
      Remember that it’s the government and the mafiaa fags making it hard for us all and I am not looking to argue with the regulars on “t.f.(TorrentFreak)” I collaborate with.I am angered and outraged at what’s going on I am angered that innocent people are becoming victims some even young enough not to even know what copyright law means.
      So, if there was a delete button I’d remove the post ,then I would.But no matter what I have good faith in Google I have seen the abuse that has gone on and on Youtube and the id tags not Youtube taking them down on copyrighted songs and Youtube/Google getting the blame.So you sort of have to understand this is nothing personal to anyone on here. frostyC nothing against you the hoboapple the same and everyone else.Remember it’s us vs. them. V is for victory :)
      I actually do more than just post on here. I petition, I write to senators ,I oppose laws, I do many other things because I want my voice and everyone else’s voice heard.

      Google is a business and like most business they are fighting for themselves. Do not be fooled. If ICE or whomever starts blocking sites then people may stop using the internet or using google to search if every site they go to is blocked. Google would lose in the end. Google is merely looking out for its own ass.
    - Gmack1264
      
      True, Google is looking out for it’s own interests.
      But, for the time being, Google’s interests align with ours. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”, and in this battle Google is a powerful allie to have.
      Google brandishes really big legal guns, and lobbying firepower to match the mafiaa; the mafiaa scum and their assorted bootboys dare not take them on directly.

    There’s nothing to fight. These sites are pulled without due process or court order.
    - Anonymous
      
      Actually they did come with court order. It did not take the US Government much work to find a short sighted judge to rubber stamp these seizure orders in the place where the employee of the DOJ points.
      
      The subjects of fair trial, due process and justice can however be found outside of the great US of A.
      
      I doubt Google will be fighting ICE any time soon when those ICE workers would need to be seriously high on the confiscated drugs to consider seizing google.com. So not a fight Google would do.
- Acheron
  
  Its sad that no matter what we do or say.. it wont change anything.
  It’ll help a little, but our government will get what they want at the end of the day, and google will only be able to do enough to keep its self online and at the most not have to filter any search results, but for everybody else that runs a forum, a blog, or a torrent site that is dedicated to file sharing is fucked. As much as I dont like it – It’s the cold, hard truth.
  - Anonymous
    
    A Government would be foolish to not listen to the people. Yes they abuse the power that they have been given but some call that human nature.
    
    Congress would listen more than you would believe. Many would write letters but what works best is a campaign to get like 10,000+ signatures. Somewhere in their minds would be the thought that elected politicians should serve the public.
    
    And if they don’t listen then that is what public protests, riots are government overthrows are for.
    - Acheron
      
      Yeah but I doubt anybodys gonna throw a riot or overthrow a government because they cant download files.

      government over throws have been a reality for far less its a matter of how much we the sheeple are willing to take and what we are willing to do about it

    I disagree: all that will happen is that an alternative DNS system will be developed by greyhats (blackhats are nappies). P2PDNS is one example of that sort of concept.
    
    The other obvious solution is to move hosting to a different jurisdiction – and use a different TLD to the US-centric ones. For now anybody can set up a .onion site easily – but that requires users to understand how to use TOR – and notify all users by e-mail and through social media.
    
    Eventually domains will be distributively-hosted (like freenet ‘freesites’); you can’t seize something that is distributively-stored.
    
    The retards with their funny costume jewellry badges are doing something that is inherently stupid: trying to set non-zero prices for goods that have a zero marginal cost of production. They will fail and be butthurt – some of the darker wights amongst the Anons might decide that DoJ needs its own takedown.

  If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
  exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea,
  which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to
  himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession
  of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar
  character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other
  possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives
  instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at
  mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread
  from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of
  man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and
  benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible
  over all space, without lessening their density at any point, and like the
  air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of
  confinement or exclusive appropriation. Inventions then cannot, in nature,
  be a subject of property.”

      Do we need more understanding or shall we play -let’s play the “stupid game?”-

      Constitution 1st amendment right/Declaration of independence.
      
      “The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights. The amendment prohibits the making of any law “respecting an establishment of religion”, impeding the free exercise of religion, infringing on the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.”
      
      A declaration of independence is an assertion of the independence of an aspiring state or states. Such places are usually declared from part or all of the territory of another nation or failed nation, or are breakaway territories from within the larger state. Not all declarations of independence are successful and result in independence for these regions.

the internet, for many it is just a connection of servers and computers all over the world, but it might be just as correct to see it as a new country, it is a communism, everyone has a relatively equal power, and nearly all resources are shared, there are no defined people in charge of the internet, but many have been given the trust to control more than others…

it really looks like many countries are at war with the internet, desperately trying to pull it apart and claim it as their own, citizens of the great net, fight back against the hostile invaders and protect our freedom!

Well here’s a hint.. All movies are copyrighted. The fact that the owner hasn’t told you that it is their work doesn’t mean that it isn’t until they do tell you. DMCA request are better than nothing, but they shouldn’t be necessarily. The responsibility to identify their own work should not lie with the copyright holder. It should lie with the owner to make sure their site is not used to breach copyrights. DMCA requests seem like an excuse to say “we may have links to tens thousands of movies, and any one of them could be yours, but if you stumble upon yours here, we will take it down!”

      Eric Boehm, if that is your real name, don’t confuse “pro copyright monopoly” and “pro artist”. Actual artists tend to understand artworks have value in themselves as art and are often supportive of the pirate movement (typically so long as they get attribution-rights, i.e. recognition as the author or contributor to some art, not to be confused with copyright, i.e. a power to stop people sharing the art), whereas scummy lawyers and MBA types tend not to recognise intrinsic value of art, caring only for the monopoly profits copyrighted art can yield for them, which will be going away when the copyright system collapses shortly.
      
      Give financial grants to artists if you think they deserve support over and above the free market – remember, copyright monopoly obviously destroys the free market, but there are less severe distortions such as grants and competitions that don’t yield the same disastrous results. (And also beware of the labor theory of value fallacy – value is subjective, things are not somehow “worth” the work put into their creation)
      
      Enforcement of copyright monopoly is clearly leading to absolutely unacceptable interference with freedom of expression. Even if no professional art would be produced without copyright law (a clearly false premise, as we have extensive examples from history and current fields without copyright to show art carries on without copyright law), the sacrifice of freedom of expression involved in allowing copyright monopoly would simply not be worth it. Face it, remaining diehard copyright monopoly supporters are at best “useful idiots” serving as a handy excuse for the authoritarian assholes who want china-style net censorship.

      I’ve never suggested all pro-copyright contributors are paid shills or random trolls, Eric, just the ones who write the way you write.
      
      Everyone understood the point you originally made – we just can’t see what possible reason you might have for making it, seeing as it’s almost completely off-topic (DMCA notices are mentioned briefly in the article, but only as an example of the fact that copyright-owners have previously shown almost no interest whatsoever in the site). The topic of the article is ICEs legally-suspect seizure of seemingly-random sites without due process, not DMCAs.
      
      The only reason I can think of for your irrelevant comment is that it’s an accidental posting that should have gone somewhere else, or been edited before posting here. Can you provide a better explanation?

      The saddest part about all this is that I don’t think Jack Murdock realizes how obvious it is that he’s a shill being paid off by the MAFIAA. I think he’s actually under the illusion that he’s being clever and fooling the rubes.
      
      In reality, his “disguise” is so paper-thin that you can actually SEE his thought process when you read his comments. “Shit, DocGerbil is realizing I’m a shill. Better discredit him. Let’s see… I’ll just say its a crazy conspiracy theory and he’s wearing a tinfoil hat. Then I’ll make up a strawman. Hmm.. What’s a good strawman… I know, I’ll pretend like he’s saying that anybody who is pro-artist is being paid off! Ah, that’s a good one. Sure, it’s got nothing to do with what he actually said for real, but nobody here will notice that. Because they’re too dumb to notice. And I’m so smart. Heh heh heh. “
      
      Seriously Jack, your comments are hodgepodges pieced together from MPAA and RIAA press releases. Your cover has been blown since day one, by yourself and your own ineptitude at playing the role of an undercover plant. The only reason you aren’t perma-banned from TorrentFreak is your endless supply of IP and email addresses, and before you whip out a strawman about how we can’t stand your difference of opinion, let me point out that what you express here has never been an opinion. What you express here is a lying screed of pro-MAFIAA gibberish that never changes no matter how many times it’s objectively disproven and no matter how many times its gaping logic holes are pointed out, which happens very frequently. It’s trolling, and I defy anybody to tell me that any remotely sane person would keep it up for as long as you have without being paid for it.

  The MAFIAA’s and their US government cronies’ continued quixotic attempts at enforcement of unjust copyright monopolies breeds disrespect for more valid laws.

      Streamed/downloaded and what’s the problem? Isn’t that equivalent to using DVR to watch those same shows at someone’s convenience? Perhaps you should write DirecTV and Dishnetwork and the manufacturers of HTPCs who make it so people can record copyright protected works and view them at their discretion.
      
      Also, for the upteenth time because you seem to ignore what I do say. NOT ALL PLACES HAVE ACCESS TO WHAT IS AVAILABLE IN THE UNITED STATES. Some places would love to pay to rent a movie through Netflix or view a show on Hulu or purchase movies/shows/songs through iTunes. But they are being purposefully overlooked and thus ignored by those corporations you so gladly defend and stand up for. Thus they are left with no alternative but to acquire through whatever means those things previously mentioned. What about that? Huh? Mr I speak for the artists and industry. What are they to do? Or better said, why are they being overlooked? They have money. I’ve read on many different sites people asking why they can’t access any of those things. Many are ready and willing to pay but they can’t. Just because they don’t live in the United States.
      
      $10 says you ignore that part of what I’ve said like all the other times. Or you say well that’s their problem, and they’re still thieves for doing what their doing. The thieves are the ones who don’t put their products out their for the entire world to enjoy or don’t allow access to some because they don’t live in this country and then turn around and attempt to sue them into poverty because they’re left with no means besides downloading those same products.
      
      You sir are a hypocrite. Or better said the people you defend are. In addition to being thieves who abuse the system to pursue their own biased and misrepresented agendas.
      
      Also, notice how you don’t respond to comments like mine or a few others that are well thought out and reasonable. No, instead you respond to the ones that are a line or two of insults or simple things. It’s like you go for the weak ones just to make yourself feel better or back up what you are saying. But the ones you know you stand no chance against you ignore or conveniently don’t see. That says one thing to myself and some of the others on here, you know you’re full of it. And that you are wrong, and rather than admit so you ignore what isn’t to your liking so you don’t have to admit that harsh reality to yourself.

      Um, not all copyright holders are “big corporations,” einstein. All indie filmmakers have to raise money to produce their films…only to have others rip them off and spread them all over the web for free. Does anyone think that these films will continue to be produced if investors refuse to invest? It’s one thing, i suppose, to rip off NBC, but quite another to rip off indie filmmakers who are producing works that NO other major media would DARE to.
    - Anonymous
      
      Jesus christ, I get tired of having to repeat myself. Did I say all copyright holders are big corporations? No. I did not in any way say people have a right to rip off anyone. I said some have no choice when they’re overlooked as far as distribution goes. And don’t f*cking talk to me in a condescending tone, Einstein. I try and refrain from insulting people out of respect, you’d best return the favor if you expect to get listened to by anyone. Talking down to people is not a way to get them to give a sh*t about what you’re saying. And if you looked around, you’d see (as I’ve said and repeated myself countless times over) the people on this site tend to support indie filmmakers and musicians and writers. I won’t elaborate further. Either look at ALL comments before you go off or don’t go off at all, especially to me. Because I’m not always in a patient mood and I will put ignorance in it’s place.

      No, you’re completely wrong ‘Jack’. All movies are subject to copyrights, and it’s up to the owners of said copyrights (generally the writer or film-maker unless they’ve sold the rights to another producer/company) to decide how to pursue those rights. It is their decision as to whether the rights to copy should be limited or if the work should be creative commons or purely in the public domain.
      
      However, the copyright laws are outmoded in a society where artificial scarcity is no longer a viable business model for entertainment and therefore need overhauling to best serve the interests of the public – the reason laws are written in the first instance.
      
      I understand that your ’98%’ figure was a simple misunderstanding of how ‘copyright’ works, but even using that misunderstanding as a basis for definition I think you’ll find that most works aren’t produced with the intention of restricting other peoples’ rights to copy.
      
      Have a quick look on YouTube or Vimeo and tell me how many films are hosted as a whole (remember, a film can be any length – either a short 5 minute affair or a full ‘feature length’ flick) and as a percentage of those films, how many are infringing other peoples’ rights to impose restrictions on copying and how many are completely user-generated and meant to be freely available and copied by others?
      
      Any true artist creates regardless of financial reward. Copyright merely stifles creative freedoms and attempts to halt cultural progress.
      
      What you espouse is not a support for the artists and creators, but support for the very establishments which are constricting the artistic expression of those creators. If you truly supported artists you’d rather see the end of organisations like the RIAA/MPAA/MPA/BPI/IFPI.
      
      As an artist myself, I support the pirates, because they’re supporting me. The corporate parasites who leech off the creativity of people like me need to shut down. They are completely irrelevant now that the distribution networks cannot be controlled by their members.
    - Anonymous
      
      Well put sir. It should be noted, Jack tends to say that he speaks for the artists. So seeing an artist say what you just did is a truly a positive thing. You should be forewarned though, since you support those who support you (the pirates) you’re no better than the rest of us and just as much a thief. I’m not saying you are, but that is what Jack and the handful of others who seem to repeat verbatim what he does think about you/me/everyone here. If you’re not with the RIAA/MPAA then you are against them (which by default means you’re a thief).

  I think you’re right, BUT… There is always a but, you know, so…
  The copying of copyrighted movies is bad, very baaad, BUT, then why is Netflix so popular and be on the 1st place and bittorrent on 2nd, while in europe BT is on 1st place? If there is a legal, innovative fuature to stream, download, watch legaly movies then that will be at the first place and everyone will be happy. THe movie makers, the legal users and BT users too.
  What mafiia does is ridiculous. Do not seizure domains, but make a trendy, new site in europe too! Here I can’t buy movies just on DVD (which I hate, we have some origina DVD’s but I hate them, a ripped version is much more comfortable, or an online streaming) and I live in romania but prefer Hungarian movies, I can’t buy hungarian movies here, even if I want, so I need to use BT.
  I’m not a bad guy. I buy games, because there are great solutions like Steam. I can buy my games legaly on Steam, cheap as hell. Anytime the newest versions and can be streamed anytime.

    Ya know, if you’re gonna argue that strongly you’d better be sure you’re right.
    
    Copyleft relies on the fact that the work in question *is* copyrighted. Copyleft = copyrighted + freely licensed.
    
    Without copyright, the terms in a license such as Creative Commons wouldn’t be legally binding. One accepts the CC terms in order to do what is otherwise restricted by copyright such as redistribute. Without copyright restrictions, you can simply ignore the CC license as nothing compels you to accept it’s terms.

      Secondly; I DON’T PIRATE (apologies to regular torrentfreak readers for shouting).

      Artists don’t get ripped off by filesharers, they get ripped off by the thieves in the recording industry who refuse to compensate them with more than a few pennies for their work. The overwhelming majority of the money earned by artists is stolen by the RIAA and the big labels.
      
      Filesharers are just a convenient fallguy for the industry to pin its own thievery on. “Hey, how come I’m barely making anything!?”, says the artist. “Because pirates are downloading your work for free! It’s certainly not because we’re stealing 99% of the profits from your album sales, no sir!”, replies the MAFIAA.

      Sorry, Don. But the “big difference between the two” doesn’t count when it’s imaginary.
      
      Copyright infringement is copyright infringement. Google is every bit as guilty when they facilitate it as The Pirate Bay is. “But it’s okay because they also do other things!” is an invalid justification.
      
      The Pirate Bay also indexes perfectly legal torrents, infact, they’ll all perfectly legal depending on what country you live in. But that didn’t give them a free pass. Nor does it give Google a free pass that they index links to perfectly legal material as well as the illegal.
      
      You can’t throw in a link to childporn on your blog about pie making and then insist that you shouldn’t get into trouble for it because your blog is MOSTLY about pies, which makes it okay.
      
      Google should be hung with the same noose as TPB, as its violation of the law is the same. Granted, neither TPB or Google should be hung by ANY noose considering that copyright laws in their current form are pathetic joke well worth breaking, but to condemn one and not the other when they both do the same thing is the height of fucking hypocrisy, and to deny that they both do the same thing is the height of fucking delusion.

  Because, you ignorant idiot, when you end up with a 98% rate of “friendly fire” for any action – like those 84000 completely legal sites ICE put out of commission as collateral damage – that’s where the cost has gone overboard.
  
  No matter your moral stance on filesharing, pulling a search and seizure/arrest on a thousand people because there’s a pickpocket among them isn’t proportional, but that’s exactly what domain seizing means.
  
  Which was obvious to every expert on IT who sent all those letters to congress explaining WHY COICA would be such a disaster.

  The US didn’t touch any servers in other countries, they changed the DNS record (on a server that does reside in the US unfortunately) to stop pointing to the foreign server. If the sites switch their domain to use DNS names that are not managed in the US, the problem goes away and they are back in business.
