U.S. Government Seizes BitTorrent Search Engine Domain and More

[Claude Almansi]

Thanks for the further info about a possible hoax, Rafik and Joly.

I had not seen <http://grandgood.com/2010/11/27/domain-name-seizures-of-popular-rap-file-sharing-sites-potentially-an-elaborate-hoax/>.
However, re the slashdot comment it quotes about the registration of
torrent-finder.com, I am not sure it  is pertinent: torrent-finder.com
has been about at least since Jan. 3, 2006, according to
<http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://torrent-finder.com>.

Best

Claude
