Upsetting report about the bold and extremely naïve new efforts by the U.S. government to stop copyright infringement by seizing domain names. It explains the tactics in detail, and it demonstrates how they won't work.

This story is laden with bias and should be considered an opinion article. It highlights important issues regarding free speech and copyright infringement, but fails to give voice to both sides of the argument.

Doesn't the Department of homeland security have something better to do than prey and people file sharing and viewing copyrighted materials online? This truly seems like a waste of time on the behalf of our government knowing that the internet is every expanding and everyone that has seen the things are are being seized can repost them and many have. Additionally when it comes down to enforcing the copyright laws more people have the file than are know so how do you truly enforce the law without finding all who have the file or information illegally because as long as one person has the file to share it will spread and find itself online again.

I do not believe this is good journalism because the slant of this website does not lend itself to credibility as it is not impartial in its reporting. Copyright infringement is against the law, whether this site makes excuses for the OnSmash.com that it mentioned or not. I did check the site, and it is, in fact, siezed by the U.S. Government. My concern is the statement on the EEF "According to the owners, they regularly and expeditiously process copyright infringement notices and take down links as appropriate.", with no real reference..otherwise yes I agree with you Joey
