EasyDNS Continues To Fight Bogus Website Seizures By City Of London Police
Found on Techdirt on Thursday, 28 November 2013
Back in October, we wrote about the absolutely ludicrous situation in which the City of London Police ordered registrars to take down a bunch of websites and point them to a page designated by the police.
Just the City of London Police, their brand new "Intellectual Property Crime Unit" (set up at the urging of the RIAA), and a demand that the website domains be yanked and that the registrars bar them from being transferred out.
EasyDNS is going to continue to push the matter, however, because it notes the dangerous consequences of Verisign's ridiculous non-decision.
That's what you get when the industry is behind the police force. Politicians should quickly step in and stop this, but the lobbying masters are most likely already working on that matter too.
