Elite Torrents seized by the FBI

Another one bites the dust...

Did you honestly think this wasnt posted already?

Its the DOJ. At least the DOJ has gotten better on their website design skills lol. Back in the day when they used to take our sites down it looked like horrible shit.

LOL wtf it's got to do with immigration?

"HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY SHUT DOWN BY
THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION AND
U.S. IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT"

BTW anyone spot the hidden keyword on the page?

"RTJKJAS"

Now I wonder if that means something.

U.S. IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT = same division :2 cents:

And this suprises you............. how?

:disgust

Ok, I see that. but what does immigration and customs have to do with a website?

The site is now being served from: http://www.SDSC.EDU

Strange

Well, since doing Find of "Elite" on the first 3 pages showed nothing, maybe when the search comes back those of us who can't live at the board won't bother you with duplicates :upsidedow

From the US Immigration and Customs website:
FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ANNOUNCES CRACKDOWN ON P2P PIRACY NETWORK
First Criminal Enforcement Against BitTorrent Network Users

Because of the location of the servers, from what the report I read said.

Check out http://www.ice.gov

Idiots running sites like that are just asking for trouble. Movie & Music industry = Huge amount of donations to Democrats and Republications. The Democrats and Republications are NOT going to let that shit fly. and will have the FBI all over them

It's getting crazy.

Not for nothing guys, but how about not posting links to Gov't websites from here? They might actually look at the referrer logs, and boy I bet they could start a field day here after June 23rd... no attention is good attention :2 cents: :winkwink:

I would imagine they have referrers from hundreds if not thousands of forums, websites and newsgroups this morning :upsidedow

Hey, take it for what it's worth :)

LOL, I know, just picking...

I'd wager well that GFY isn't unknown to the feds :upsidedow

view the page source, its framed, view the frame that you sees source, it says "SHUT DOWN BY FBI AND ICE" someone hacked them or something

How about checking any news source or the dept of immigration and customs own website...

If nothing else, this should be proof to those here who think they can circumvent 2257 or other US laws by hosting out of the country. :2 cents:

excellent point :thumbsup
