US Government Domain Seizures Failing Miserably

Posted by timothy on from the dog-bites-man-sun-sets-as-usual dept.

ktetch-pirate writes "Operation In Our Sites, a US Government-led domain seizure action to deal with piracy, is pretty much a failure. TorrentFreak has examined a significant number of sites that have gone on pretty much unhindered, despite the seizures. Already some questions have been asked about the constitutionality of the seizures, and the evidence used as justification, but it seems the end results weren't as good as boasted either."

    The only difference between a "freedom fighter" and a "terrorist" is that a freedom fighter is on the same side as the speaker, while a terrorist is on the other side.

    If you have no morals at all, sure, I can see why you would view the issue that way. I would also say you're a despicable human being who should be ostracized at every opportunity. If, on the other hand, you care about the political goals of the group and the methods they use in order to achieve them, you have a much more tangible method for differentiating between freedom fighters and terrorists.
