United States Government Cracking Down On Sites Linked To Copyright Piracy

Tweet

The United State Government has long talked a mean game about cracking down on sites that actively engage in what it terms “Copyright Piracy”. It appears that the talk is over and action has begun. Over the last few days customs enforcement and immigration section of the Department of Homeland Security has seized several such sites.

Torrent sites have become the biggest target, mainly because they do the most business when it comes to allowing users to download movies, television shows and music without having to pay for it. The recording, movie and television industries consider this piracy and have been trying to find a way to put a stop to it basically since the internet was first invented.

One torrent site owner, who runs Torrent-Finder says that, “My domain has been seized without any previous complaint or notice from any court!” His site was apparently one of about 70 different sites who were seized in the massive operation.
