Homeland Security Shutting Down Dozens Of Websites With Illegal Music, Counterfeit Goods

If today you tried to log in to one of your favorite sites that
allowed the downloading of pirated movies, music, music videos or sold
counterfeit goods, chances are it’s gone
.

The Department of Justice, Homeland Security Investigations and National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center have been quite busy the last couple of days.

Lots of hip hop fans were in shock when they signed on to RapGodfathers,com and OnSmash yesterday, only to find the sites had been seized by ICE.

But those seizures were just tip of the iceberg. Dozens of other domains have fallen victim in the U.S. Government’s
latest attempt to shut down rampant piracy and bootlegging that is
costing the record industry, movie companies and clothing manufacturers
billions of dollars annually.

As you would expect, lots of domain owners were caught completely off guard.

“My domain has been seized without any previous complaint or notice from any court!” the owner of Torrent-Finder told TorrentFreak. “I
firstly had DNS downtime. While I was contacting GoDaddy I noticed the
DNS had changed. Godaddy had no idea what was going on and until now
they do not understand the situation and they say it was totally from
ICANN.”

Cori W. Baqssett, a spokewoman for Ice confirmed the seizures in a statement to the New York Times.

“ICE office of Homeland Security Investigations executed
court-ordered seizure warrants against a number of domain names. As this
is an ongoing investigation, there are no additional details available
at this time
,” she said.

Check out the full list of seized sited below.
