ICE Seizes Domain Names Suspected of Piracy Involvement

Why bother having Congress pass the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA), when without any notice they can just shut down a business on a suspicion. I am sure such a power will never be abused or used in error...

"ICE appears to be targeting sites that help Internet users download copyrighted music, as well as sites that sell bootleg goods, such as fake designer handbags.

The sites are replaced with a note from the government: "This domain named has been seized by ICE, Homeland Security Investigations."
...
One of the site owners told TorrentFreak that his site was shut down without any notice or warning.

The effort comes as Congress considers the Combatting Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA). Critics, including Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) say it is too heavy-handed. He has vowed to put a formal hold on the bill.
