DHS seizes domain names. Copyright infringement is now "homeland security."

[Revere]

So now we are "safe" if we let DHS penetrate our women and take over file sharing sites.

Homeland Security seizes domain names - The Hill's Hillicon Valley

ICE appears to be targeting sites that help Internet users download copyrighted music, as well as sites that sell bootleg goods, such as fake designer handbags.

The sites are replaced with a note from the government: "This domain named has been seized by ICE, Homeland Security Investigations."

duplicate thread.

Fuck it! It's on page 4. If the original topic starter didn't make it interesting enough, it's not my fault.

I adhere to the "it's not a duplicate if it's not on the first three pages" rule.

So profanity is required?

I guess DHS really doesn't need to justify their actions to anyone.

I bet you miss the Patriot Act.

Can't the DHS find something more important to do like secure the borders?

 

[Revere]

Nope. Busting teenagers who want file sharing or fake explosives makes us safer.

 

[Zoom-boing]

Seizing these domain names is more important than seizing illegals, don't cha know?

Are they going to seize youtube? Lots of music, movie clips and tv shows on there, all (if not most) is copyrighted, isn't it?

[Revere]

My rule. Until or unless somebody with something stronger than just your breath merges it.

Big Brother and the Socialists are on the march. It's so sad watching all their Goose Steppers lining up to defend the Department of Homeland Insecurity. I often wonder if there was an 'R' in power rather than a 'D',would these same Goose Steppers still be doing all this Goose Stepping? When are people going to wake up and realize that their Freedom & Liberty is steadily being eroded. It doesn't matter whether it's the 'D's or the 'R's taking it away. The point is,they are taking it away. So stop all the Goose Stepping for God's sake...Before it's too late.

Also,i seriously doubt this is a Homeland Security issue anyway. Why are they so aggressively seizing the Domain Names? This is just more preposterous Big Brother shit. So sad.

Like it or not the internet is a battlefield now. Between wikileaks whistleblowers and foreign hackers breaking into US networks of national security stature we have a serious reason to allow the DOD to own the internet.

Not to mention child porn, pedophilia, online gambling, and terrorist websites that broadcast jihadist memes.

The government must control the internet if for no other reason than to propagandize.

Why HLS is focusing on copyright infringement is a lot more difficult to figure out.

Just another case of Big Brother abusing its power. Homeland Security should have nothing to do with this issue. They are abusing their power. Maybe some at Homeland Security should be arrested? Copyright Infringement is not a Homeland Security issue. People should be outraged but unfortunately most aren't. They just don't care. They're quite content living in their little Goose Stepping Worlds. It really is so sad.
