ICE continues to block pirated domains



    I remember that six months ago, the US authorities began blocking “violating the law” domain names by spoofing the DNS, and putting on display a page with three logos and awesome text. This whole epic continues to this day, although the ICE has not yet confirmed the validity of such actions. The most interesting thing is that domains are blocked without warning; no sites are warning about the administration of sites hosted on such domains, although they seem to be supposed to. So, ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) yesterday and today blocked another group of domains, causing outrage not only the owners of these domain names, but also many representatives of the Internet community.

    The following domains were blocked yesterday:

    * Re1ease.net
    * Watchnewfilms.com
    * Dvdcollectionsale.com
    * Dvdscollection.com
    * Dvdsetsonline.com
    * Newstylerolex.com

    Today they also added

    * mygolfaccessory.com
    * overbestmall.com The

    guys from TorrentFreak contacted the administrator of Re1ease.net, a site that was blocked was not clear why (on this site there were no pirated materials except links to films and TV shows on Megavideo.com). The administrator said that no one contacted him and the domain was blocked without warning. The administrator was just updating the page in the browser to look at the changes on the site, and he saw a picture from ICE, which was incredibly surprised.

    Earlier, two companies addressed the administration and asked to remove links to certain TV shows and films, which was done immediately.

    The most interesting thing is that the attendance of this "pirate" site was only 10 thousand people, and even fewer visitors reached links to TV shows and films. In general, the choice of US authorities blocking domains raises many questions, and the legitimacy of such actions is also in question.
