Torrent-Finder.com Shut Down By The Feds
 

http://torrent-finder.info/

file sharing has been stopped. the end.

It's loading fine for me?

works here...ive never torrented anything

They'll brand this one with the Homeland Security logo pretty soon too.

i like feds

Works for me. It's flying a St. Jude Children's Research Hospital banner at top, which I find oddly disturbing. ~lol~

Works fine here too.

working for me - maybe blocked for US only?

What he mean to say was http://torrent-finder.com/ has been siezed.

http://torrentfreak.com/u-s-governme...d-more-101126/

Its about time.

what i meant they just moved domains. heh heh ...

after feds took .com, site moved to .info is what i think agent is saying

the .com seizure had something to do with advertising counterfeit goods though

12 domains reported seized today. some torrent sites.

opps, sucks for them. and about time we start seeing some action.

Nice find.

Thanx for the URL.

I'm sooo frikken niave!

point taken - domain seized and went up elsewhere in no time...

+bump

this is an interesting test though - .com taken, and so .info comes up. But what happens with a .tld out of US jurisdiction?

Time to party like it's 1999.

I would link to a Prince video but he's the only person on the planet I know that is able to protect his copyrighted works.

so was rapgodfathers.com

a couple people texted me asking me about it...im like how the fuck would i know. ive never been to the dam site.

.com doesn't look shut down to me.

com and info looking fine to me.

the .com is displaying a seized by ICE - Homeland Security notice.

Strange. Not for me. I can also search there.

Here is the list of seized domains. Never heard of any of them...

Works for me

I just noticed when I search on .com it leads to .info search results. Maybe the seized page has not reach my dns yet.

http://icqshoes.com/ wonder what those looked like LOL

These guys where HUGE in the online rap industry

they owned onsmash.com/RapGodFathers.com

the rapgodfathers forum had 150k members ... did a TON of piracy

and onsmash.com was a music video site aswell

they did every kinda piracy and bootlegging possible

lol.. big fail..

works perfectly fine here...

I was a fan of onsmash.com, pretty surprising because i thought they only had the latest music videos

still working, so they slammed again

The .com is ""seized" for me... Cool stuff.

Ns1.seizedservers.com
ns2.seizedservers.com

Just saw the story on this on NBC news and CNN. It's starting to happen.

this thread was a sufi mind experiment and was perfect.

What's next the feds closing down Google?
:1orglaugh.....:disgust
[But,Really the site does not host anything.]

working normally in here...

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/11/h...ns-sites/?tech

76 domains thus far.

Some forums that were just linking to RS/HF/MU etc. Lets hope they move onto the likes of pornbb etc.

Its not that I am even that antipirate. I cant even remember the last time I bought a cd or rented a movie. Shit needs to go back underground, back to the days of dcc and ftp distro. Soon as Joe Shithead with his new fangled cable modem could just visit a website and start downloading whatever he wanted, we were doomed. Pray to fuck the general population never figures out the usenet.

irc ftw!

Nice find for sure:)

it's actually 77 so far

The US Government have piracy firmly in their sites. If blocking domains doesn't work they will bring out a new law. Even more stringent.

Don't anyone kid themselves this is the end game.

If its not the end game it's definatley a good start and it should be a major deterent.

Those cheering for this have their blinders on. This is in no way a good thing and you will be back here cursing it in a few years even if it continues exactly how you want it to for the time being. Since when does a webmaster of any kind want sites yanked off the internet without due process?

I agree, but its definatley good for those who produce their own content.

Moreover. Do any of the idiots cheering this on really think it will have a material effect. From my understanding the Government has the power to do this currently only to sites whose servers are hosted in the US, thus breaking US law by their determination. Furthermore the US may control the DNS but they will not go about seizing domains from sovereign nations.

So at the end of the day pirates will do what pirates are doing, move to alternate TLD's (.cd for instance) and host in less developed nations. But, legitimate US businesses in risky categories such as ADULT may find themselves on the end of similar measures in years to come.

You are correct but some new legislation just got through committee that would let them do it to sites that are owned and operated anywhere in the world. Scary ass, end of the internet as we know it type of shit and people that work online cheering for it.

Sure, but it would also be good for those selling porn if hustler.com got taken offline in the same manner, doesn't make it right.

And just to clarify, I wouldn't give a flying fuck if some pissed off webmaster went and blew up the servers for every pirate haven on the entire internet and got away with it. What I do care about is the government being able to decide they want something offline and just taking it off without a court order. Due process is a good thing, even if it drags along and pisses everyone off.

We all know what government does with power once it gets it, it's not like next year they won't be able to keep doing this on top of whatever other fucked up powers they've claimed.
