Bittorrent sites live again in non-US domains
THE US GOVERNMENT'S seizure of dozens of website domains to stop bittorrent filesharing has been a total waste of time.
Websites like Torrent Finder are already operating under .info domains, beyond the reach of the US government, hours after the seizure action. The sudden strike against domains seems more like a desperate attempt to demonstrate control, by a government that can't even keep its own secret diplomatic cables secret.
According to the BBC, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency had used the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) to seize the websites' domain names.
But the result has been a whole lot of work for not much return. This fiasco follows the recent loss of an appeal by the Pirate Bay operators and filesharing operation Limewire's demise.
This whack-a-mole game between filesharers and governments driven by the music and film cartels might continue for years to come, as one strike against a website simply sees it move elsewhere. µ

You are forgetting one small thing. corporations have different laws than people, and love to shove it in your face at every opportunity. This helps the peons realize that cant do anything about it and shut up and watch American idol. What are you going to do, vote to have the system changed? hahahaha good luck with that.
I have posted a thoroughly researched News Report on my Blog that Proves that a Major USA Media Company was involved in the Distribution and Promotion of over 500 million copies of P2P File Sharing Media Piracy Software from their own servers.
These included LimeWire, Kazaa, Bit-Torrent, Morpheus and Many others, often with accompanying Editorial Content praising AND Demonstrating their copyright infringing abilities! This is just being made public right now. My work is fully documented.

Thank you very much. I know now about torrent finder. Actually, it search are pretty comprehensive. Wow!
Thank you DHS, ICANN, MPAA, IFPI & All that bunch of pirate whatever chaser. Without you, i wouldn't know this site..
I can't help but wonder what the Department of Homeland "Security" has to do with enforcing copyright laws.
Perhaps its involvement is an indication of what a rampaging monster the DHS has become, apparently shredding the Constitutional without a second thought.
If they keep this up for another 2 years, they might surpass even J. Edgar Hoover's FBI in government overreach.
What a waste of our tax dollars kissing the ass of the media monsters!
Well of course they are. Thats a given.
I too hadn't heard of torrent finder until i read this. I use btjunkie.org when searching for torrents.
I wouldn't have known about Torrent Finder if it wasn't for the news articles submitted about the .com domain being hijacked.
Thanks, fed! I now have another torrent search resource, and you've shown yourself to not give a damn about freedom and due process - after all, if you can change what due process means, what's to stop you?
