Feds Seize 307 Sports-Related Domains Ahead of Super Sunday | Threat Level | Wired.com

The US Gov't seized hundreds of domains over the past few months for selling fake goods and for streaming live games. The interesting section (for me) is
"The feds are able to seize the domains because Verisign, which controls the .net and .com names, and the Public Interest Registry, which runs .org, are U.S.-based organizations. Under civil forfeiture laws, the person losing the property has to prove that the items were not used to commit crimes."
Guilty until proven innocent.

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement leaves behind a message to online visitors that a site has been seized. Those messages have received more 77 million page views, the government said."
All those pageviews going to waste. Does the fed have an ad network? We can both make some money

.com/.org/.net rank the best in Google and are controlled by the US Government. Coincidence?

What a relief, instead of cheap Chinese knockoffs, NFL fans will be able to buy expensive Chinese made products. They are probably both made in the same factory.

My nigga.

My Chinese-made Apple headphones cost about $6, free shipping (vs $30 at the store). they comes in a genuine Apple-logo box with instructions. Looks and sounds exactly the same to me.
