ICE seizes more piracy domains
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has seized a small number of domain names that were allegedly being used to distribute bootleg movies and other goods.
But the number of domains falling to Operation In Our Sites in the latest round appears to be smaller than reported over the weekend by TorrentFreak.
The newly seized domains seem to be watchnewfilms.com, mygolfaccessory.com and re1ease.net.
Another half-dozen domains reportedly grabbed within the last few days were actually seized last November, as part of ICE’s major Thanksgiving crackdown.
The false positives were likely spotted because the domains recently changed name servers to ICE’s seizedservers.com, but this appears to be due to a domain management issue, rather than a fresh seizure.
Re1ease.net is now located at http://re1ease.net.in
