This was the biggest news during a quiet week, so here it goes. First, please remember, not all torrents are bad. Shoot, I even downloaded a torrent last week to get a Windows recovery disk image. (You gotta love Thanksgiving family time on the computer!) In any case, what do you think of this move? Will it have the desired effect?
Among the domains seized were torrent-finder.com and those of three sites that specialized in music: onsmash.com, rapgodfathers.com and dajaz1.com. TorrentFreak, a news blog about BitTorrent — a file-sharing system that has tended to elude the authorities because it is decentralized — said that at least 70 other addresses had been seized, most belonging to sites related to counterfeit clothing, DVDs and other goods.
