The Hill:  “Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has seized dozens of domain names over the past few days . . . . 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.”

See “U.S. Government Seizes BitTorrent Search Engine Domain and More” for a list of the domains that were ceased by ICE.
