US Pirate Movie Site DNS Seizure Fail

An anonymous reader writes "Last week, the US government in a highly publicized copyright protection frenzy took the extraordinary step of seizing domain names from foreign movie sites like NinjaVideo.net and TVshack.net. While the seizure raises confusing Internet legal / jurisdiction questions (the US and perhaps the state of Kentucky can seize domain names for foreign companies?), this study shows the legal issues may be moot — the raids mostly failed. Within hours of domain name seizure, tvshack.cc was back up and running (but this time using a Chinese registrar and a Cocos Islands ccTLD)."

You voted them in, so the're your responsibility.

I didn't marry my sister, so I'm not allowed to vote in Kentucky.

>>>The guy accuses Obama of being racist

Yeah. And? A black guy who hates whites would certainly qualify. He also appears to hate Israelis.

>>>denies he ever said it.

Not really. He's toned it down but he still says it. Just last week he had a show about Unions, their anti-chinese and anti-black racism (pre-1970), their anti-white racism (post-2000), and Obama's connections to these unions. Like refusing to allow foreign oil tankers to come help clean up the mess, because it would hurt Union workers, so instead he just lets the oil gush forth. ----- Why is it that a Democrat is allowed to walk up to me (or other Tea Party protesters), call me a "racist" right to my face, but I'm not allowed to observe their own anti-white viewpoints or policies?

Double standard.

It's just like during the Bush years when he was labeled a chimp or Nazi (which he was). But when the same was done to Obama, suddenly that was wrong. If it's okay to do it to one president, it should be okay to do it to the other president as well.
