UK Police To Get Major New Powers To Seize Domains
Stoobalou writes "British Police forces could soon have the power to seize any domain associated with criminal activity, under new proposals published today by UK domain registrar Nominet. At present, Nominet has no clear legal obligation to ensure that .uk domains are not used for criminal activities. That situation may soon change, if proposals from the Serious and Organized Crime Agency (SOCA) are accepted."
Well I guess that's it for the bad guys. Now they'll have no way to register their evil domains.
I can only assume there's a Mildly Worrying Organised Crime Agency?

Your link is wrong, it doesn't even mention the .uk TLD.
Yes, oddly enough, I looked long and hard for an article on British war crimes on mil.uk but couldn't find any...
