City of London Police Take Down Proxy Service Over Piracy Concerns

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.

    The police, who wants to fight piracy which is claimed to be happening by the corporations, go bust servers with neither warrants nor court orders. What exactly are making these claims legit enough to skip due process? Or is due process some sort of privilege that we shouldn't expect them in the first place?

    Due process? Who do you think you are? Some citizen with some kind of rights? You are our customers, and you will take what we give you, and like it.

    Warmest Regards,

    Your Corporate Overlords

    The hyphen doesn't mean what you think it does. Stop getting all knee-jerky - it's making you look like the scared bigot you actually are.

    City of London is not part of the UK, it has its own electoral system and its own government. Wrong! That police force answers to the City of London Corporation. No it doesn't! That police force is threatening the sovereignty of the UK and wider world. It isn't in anyway! So we need to take back the City of London from the corporate entity that controls it, and bring that police force back within the wider laws of the UK. You are a moron
