DHS and ICE Seize Domain Names for Music File Sharing
2010-11-27
The investigative arm of the Homeland Security Department appears to be shutting down websites that facilitate copyright infringement.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has seized dozens of domain names over the past few days.
I'm sure someone in the DHS can explain how this relates to homeland security. Too bad we don't have a free press that would ask.

#3  Last time I looked, the FBI wasn't part of DHS. Under what authority is this being done? Cybercrime? I see. Of course, Obama's control over the intertubes would only be excercised in an emergency, right? This is one? Says who? Oh, the RIAA. Well, alrighty, then.

They are just practicing using entities that can't defend themselves. Blogs next. Better not say anything derogatory about the TSA, they're pretty sensitive about the abuse they've been getting lately involving matters of national security.

#2  WTF is with Napolitano? First she targets vets. And her expanding pool of victims that cried over W's DHS are suprisingly silent. Going through AP security in a bathing suit may bring some publicity but is not going to stop this. What will?

#1  Janet Incompetano looking for Holywood campaign contributions? Heads should roll for this false mission. I'm very glad all our security issues have been taken care of
