I found out about this when I got an email from the company saying that they were down and I had to change the forms on the parish website that I run. I guess we don't have to wait for SOPA/PIPA for Uncle Sam to start shutting down legitimate web services.

You must have put something negative in the parish bulletin about Obamacare and contraception! Speech, especially religious speech, against the Obama state is obviously not allowed!

This needs court overview. We’re forgetting the importance of checks and balances on government. We do so at our peril.

I unfortunately have to work with the FDA.
Let’s just say - I am not surprised.

It’d be awfully convenient if the same kind of ‘accidents’ take place to conservative sites just before the November election.

Go Daddy should have pushed back on the request to shut them down. Some reason for shutting down a business or proof of bad behavior should have been given to them before they did this.
I really dislike Godaddy and moved all might sites off of them a couple of years ago.

The problem was - the service was not always being used legitimately. Apparently the service has been used in some international heists. We cant give everyone a pass just because you’re honest. It sounds like it was a mere inconvenience and not a violation of any rights.

Oh, seriously - since when is the government answerable to the people who pay their salaries?
Someone around here must still believe in that tired, old U. S. Constitution.

GoDaddy was a big backer of SOPA until their customers staged a revolt. It looks like they are still working hand in glove with Obama’s brownshirts.

Fixed it for ya.
The problem was - the service firearm was not always being used legitimately. Apparently the service firearm has been used in some international heists. We cant give everyone a pass just because youre honest. It sounds like it was a mere inconvenience and not a violation of any rights.

It sounds like it was a mere inconvenience and not a violation of any rights. Let's say you own a large hotel (or a shopping mall or any other legal business with lots of customers leasing space). The feds determine that one of your customers is using a room to sell pirated DVDs (or to commit mail fraud or any one of thousands of possible federal criminal offenses).
So the feds seize and shut down your hotel without any due process or even prior notice. They won't tell you why they seized your hotel, just that you are now out of business.
A few days or weeks later, the feds give you back your hotel and say, "Never mind." Still no reason given for the seizure or compensation for all of the business that you lost (and will continue to lose now that most of your customers are afraid to come back).
Still sound like it was a mere inconvenience and not a violation of any rights?

We're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little more now if we can and the rest next quarter.

I think, if I were to start a website nowadays, I would register the domain outside the US. You can publish to and view it from anywhere, so there is no reason to give these thugs the ability to “disappear” you, unless you are hellbent on getting that .com at the end.

Hmmm ... I recall a scene from THX 1138 where the same guys were probably sitting at the control console when this happened.
