RIAA Seizes Wrong MP3Skull Domain (torrentfreak.com)

Reader AmiMoJo writes: In its continued quest to keep the Internet piracy-free, the RIAA has seized the domain name of yet another MP3Skull site. However, it appears that their most recent target has nothing to do with the original service. Earlier this year a Florida federal court issued a permanent injunction which allowed the RIAA to take over the site's domain names. Despite the million dollar verdict MP3Skull continued to operate for several months, using a variety of new domain names, which were subsequently targeted by the RIAA's legal team. Now MP3Skull.onl, an unrelated YouTube converter, has also been seized.

    I am sure, our courts being fair and all, that the RIAA will pay full restitution for the damages caused by their neglectful actions. :/

    ...Every time someone trades freedom for comfort, they lose freedom.

    Yes, and the sad thing is that they eventually lose the comfort too.
