City of London Police Take Down Proxy Service Over Piracy Concerns

Posted by samzenpus on from the shutting-it-down dept.

Mr_Silver writes TorrentFreak is reporting that the City of London Police (a private police force in government-backed livery with an authority that does not go beyond the corporate-controlled City of London area — so not to be confused with the Metropolitan Police) has seized control of a number of domains including Immunicity, a general proxy server that was set up as a censorship circumvention tool. This appears to be their next step after placing banner adverts on websites.

  1. Christmas by Thanshin · · Score: 4, Funny

    I don't want a lot for Christmas
    There is just one thing I need
    I don't care about the presents
    Underneath the Christmas tree

    I just want them for my own
    More than they could ever know
    Make my wish come true
    All I want for Christmas is
    My own bloody private police force!
