Feds Seized Website For a Year Without Piracy Proof

Posted by Soulskill on from the your-tax-dollars-at-work dept.

bonch writes "U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement seized a hip-hop website based on RIAA claims of copyright infringement for prerelease music tracks. They held it for a year before giving it back due to lack of evidence. Unsealed court records (PDF) show that the government was repeatedly given time extensions to build a case against Dajaz1.com, but the RIAA's evidence never came. The RIAA has declined to comment."

    Shoot the CEO in the head, and you'll get a similar effect.
