Oh they can, they did it for atdh.me as well
SOPA and PIPA would allow them to seize accounts for ANY website suspected of counterfeiting, trademark violations, copyright violations etc etc though

I'm quite aware of the laws surrounding copyrights/trademarks in the US. I find them draconian and seemingly their entire existence rests upon the idea that entrenching large mega corporations is better than free information and high competition.
We're one of the only countries in the world that think this way about it.

No doubt Megavideos.com has got them down for the pirated movies they were hosting and collecting premium membership fee for allowing users to watch full movies.
Surprised to know that they were leasing around 25 petabytes of server space !!
They had around 1600 servers for hosting their sites in USA alone and many more around the world !!!

Just looked on my local news site - NZ is preparing to get them extradited from Auckland to the US. Never knew something like this could happen in "Middle Earth"...

Now that is blackhat!

Just came across this thread and wanted to have a little rant on one issue in this thread that a number of people have perpetuated.
Fact: .COM does not repeat not equal US.
You do NOT own this top level. Millions of .COM's are registered by non-us entities. The US does NOT own the Internet although it thinks that it does.
</rant>
Sorry that was not meant to be anti-american - I love the people and the country. It's just the rather provincial nature of the mind-set
