After reading mor stories today, I believe the authorities physically removed the physical server containing the bn.Blogetery.com hosted blogs.
To protect the copyright claims of major RIAA donors, the Obama administration just stole, blackholed and civil forfeiture confiscated the intellectual property of about 72,000 websites.
War is Peace. DMCA IP law is liberty.
Well then they are being consistent. Some years ago, I had an employee who was involved with a group of people providing movies via Bit Torrent. The movie industry and the feds got concerned when these guys got their hands on the latest Star Wars movie, before release in theaters.
The FBI raided his apartment. He was not there, as he was out of town on a training course. However, they seized his computer which was being used as a server. The problem was that the server was government property. Without permission, he had taken the server home to configure it for Linux. Before he did that, he decided to transfer all of his home computer files to the government machine and clean up his own drive. We fired the employee, and bought the government a new server. We weren’t happy.
Our now former employee was convicted along with his fellow conspirators and spent time in federal prison. He was just a kid, and had no idea what he was getting into. He learned a hard lesson.
Over a year later, the FBI called and told us that we could pick up the server. The guy I sent to pick it up asked the agent if he had wiped the drive. He got a nasty response but was assured that all illegal materials had been removed. When we got the server back to the office, we found all the movies still intact.
