    Government Seized Websites are moving on via Twitter

    Well, the government can now sieze domain names that belong to “copyright infringing” websites. The new bill called COICA has blacklisted over 70 website’s domain names, and when you visit those websites all you get is a scary red warning message, like the one above. Now, this doesn’t mean the actual website is gone, it just means the government is banning their domain names. Hoping to thwart copyright infringing websites out of exsistance, the government now realizes that this only works for .com domains — so all these websites have to do is buy a new domain name, and carry on from there, and announce it on Twitter — TechCrunch has more.
