The answer is Customs (now a department of DHS) or maybe you have never had to deal with getting something you buy overseas into the country, even something you buy on a foreign vacation. The laws we already have for copyright infringement is under the juristiction of the court system where one would have to file a lawsuit in such cases. But my guess is that you have also not had to deal with international copyright infringement now have you?
The point I am making is the same as the indignation you seem to be firing blindly attempting to hit. If the government had a case, why did they not send in the district attorney? But noooooo, they just had to jump right in heavy handed without warrants and/or legal complaints to support their case with that funny little thing we call due process.
I did not mean to criticize your post. But this Homeland Security boondoggle is one big mash up.
Customs has to do with commerce and/or illegal commerce and should be separated from Homeland Security. Also, I don’t think Customs actually brings legal action against people they catch who’re engaged in illegal commerce. They turn those cases over to he specific government agency regulating the activity.
As for Homeland Security going after domain names—does anyone have an idea why—from a security perspective— Onada’s Marxist goons are doing this? Other than too many border guards have too little to do as they are not allowed to do their job.
