U.S. Seizes BitTorrent Search Engine Domain and More

Without any need for COICA, ICE has just seized the domain of a BitTorrent meta-search engine along with those belonging to other music linking sites and several others which appear to be connected to physical counterfeit goods.

When a site has no tracker, carries no torrents, lists no copyright works unless someone searches for them and responds just like Google, accusing it of infringement becomes somewhat of a minefield - unless you're ICE Homeland Security Investigations that is.

It's about time for a decentralized DNS system where anybody can register a domain and has full control over it, with nobody else having the chance to mess with a domain. Of course that would open the gates to completely anonymous domains but that's where the governments are pushing the Internet with actions like this one.
