They are a website for sharing illegal files (including movies). They operate legally(ish) in their home country, but are obviously illegal in the US.
So, shockingly, their website is taken down the week that Star Wars comes out.
Nope, definitely not a coincidence.

No, suspended by ICANN under a pretense of "failing to verify their email address".USN_Hokie wrote:DDOS?
Don't get me wrong - I'm not advocating the site - and I hesitate to even name it here and have us show up in google-hits for it - but I just think it's funny that they get suspended (under a flimsy pretext) right before Star Wars is coming out.

I'd agree that's a heck of a coincidence.

Disney rewrites the copyright laws every time Mickey Mouse comes due for expiration. No joke.Bay_area_Hokie wrote:Disney apparently has a lot of crank. I can see it.
