UK Police To Get Major New Powers To Seize Domains

Posted by samzenpus on from the mine-now-I-take-it dept.

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."

    I'm sure the Nigerian prince has diplomatic immunity. Besides, I'm getting 100,000,000,000,000 dollars in the mail soon.
