Thanks for the further info about a possible hoax, Rafik and Joly.<br>
<br>
I had not seen <<a href="http://grandgood.com/2010/11/27/domain-name-seizures-of-popular-rap-file-sharing-sites-potentially-an-elaborate-hoax/" target="_blank">http://grandgood.com/2010/11/27/domain-name-seizures-of-popular-rap-file-sharing-sites-potentially-an-elaborate-hoax/</a>>.<br>


However, re the slashdot comment it quotes about the registration of<br>
<a href="http://torrent-finder.com" target="_blank">torrent-finder.com</a>, I am not sure it  is pertinent: <a href="http://torrent-finder.com" target="_blank">torrent-finder.com</a><br>
has been about at least since Jan. 3, 2006, according to<br>
