IsoNews Ostensibly Shut Down By The DOJ
According to Yahoo News and also Cyber Crime The longest running news site for Piracy has been turned over to the Department of Justice. Stating David Rocci AKA krazy8, has recently plead guilty to selling modchips via his website http://www.isonews.com with profit of $48,000. Now the domain has been linked to the Cybercrime Site warning all pirates all there that modchipping is not a game. [chrisd] In case you needed a reminder...you don't own your hardware. Eff? That said, this is not 100% positive, and there are rumors of the old site floating around on other ip addresses out there.
In related DOJ web hijinks..joemite writes "Cannabis News released this article about how the DEA is seeking to redirect indicted businesses that sell glass bongs and pipes to the DEA's website. "If the court orders the sites to be redirected, Ashcroft said, they will point to a DEA.gov Web page that says: "By application of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, the Web site you are attempting to visit has been restrained by the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania pursuant to Title 21, United States Code, Section 853 (e)(1)(a).""

In the future, I would want to not be isolated from my friends in the Space Station.
you are all criminals.

In these grave times of war, all freedom thinking Americans should stand behind our President. These America-hating criticisms only help Bin Laden and his Communist and Democrat and Woman allies. I hope John Ashcroft shuts down Slash-dot and imprisons the lot of you in cuba!
Nope... that's Netscape 4 :-)
:-( ... take your pick.

So, you have publicly admitted to thinking? Specifically, non-approved thinking? Probably also not registered.
Expect our jackbooted thugs now. They should arrive shortly and take care of the problem.
The moon is not fully subjugated. I demand a second assault wave preceded by a massive nuclear bombardment.
Dear Mr.Slagdog with an extra g,
The information you provided is very informative.
Nforce shall feel our force soon.
Thank you for being a good citizen,
DOJ
Siggy Say, Siggy Do
Naw, that's the Department of Great Justice. You know, the guys who don't just redirect web sites. They redirect ZIG!
So if modchipping your own xbox is illegal....
;)
Does that mean Red Green is going to get arrested for "modding" that dryer into a bread maker?
Or what about the time he "modded" the ducts from his basement into a pontoon boat....
Tepp
They're going to hijack Sony, Toshiba and all the other manufacturers out there that make CD-RWs and DVD-R/RWs for creating hardware that is used to pirate software!
You must have haxx0red the Internet in order to get that IP address. You have circumvented the U.S. Dept of Justice's webpage claiming that ISONEWS is now their property. You have allowed thousands to access the former iSONEWS site, and thus helped many hundreds of software pirates. Please stand by for prosecution under the DMCA. Have a nice day.
There is no sig, there is only Zuul.
remember the old Saturday Night Live sketches based on the "Mattress Police"? They went around arresting people for removing the mattress tags from their mattresses that said..."Do Not Remove This Tag Under Penalty Of Law"... It seems to me as the years go by, the U.S. Government Law Enforcement agencies are being empowered and assuming the rolls of "Mattress Police" more and more. Where once we sought out to destroy, with great vigor, communism and dictatorial governments, we are slowly becoming what we once so heartily endeavored to destroy and set "the people" free from... *sigh*
"It is essential that justice be done
Oh yeah, and a lot of "Old Money" republican families were so much trailer trash until they made their millions running alcohol during prohibition. Funny how you never hear about that...
You mean, like the Kennedys?

Slashdot uses the word "ostensibly" in a headline.
The shareholder is always right.
Will our tax dollars pay to renew the domains which have been taken over by the government?
I surely didn't vote for that.. OH WAIT! I have no rights! I'm just another tax payer..
In Soviet Russia, bad jokes post YOU!

You know we'll be seeing commercials now saying "Use mod chips and your daughter will become pregnant and your son will run over a kid on a trike." It's the logical next step, right?
