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

[Amr Elsadr]

Thanks for the link Rafik. The ICE website (http://www.ice.gov/news/releases/1006/100630losangeles.htm) lists seven sites of which warrants were issued to seize their domain names:

"TVSHACK.NET, MOVIES-LINKS.TV, FILESPUMP.COM, NOW-MOVIES.COM, PLANETMOVIEZ.COM, THEPIRATECITY.ORG, and ZML.COM".

The source code of these pages is not the same as that of torrent-finder.com.

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
