True, watching what is happening to torrent-finder.com is important.
Howeve, in the main post:

That web servers are not being seized and web content not being
deleted can easily be verified by clicking this link,
http://208.101.51.57, which is the original IP Address of a seized
domain, torrent-finder.com. It’s still up, and it appears it has
registered a new domain, torrent-finder.info, that resolves to the
original IP address"

clashes with what a whois for torrent-finder.com says, i.e. that it
was registered in 2006.

Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal announced that ICE:

"...   said late Sunday that Attorney General Eric Holder and John
Morton, ICE's director, will hold a press conference Monday morning in
Washington D.C. to announce "an intellectual property enforcement
action." "

Let's see what comes out of this press conference.
