Defense Distributed Domain Stolen!
Renegade:
The US government has stolen the defensedistributed.com domain:
http://defensedistributed.com/
I was going to post this in the Basement, but it's just too important to hide.
Welcome to the new era of Orwellian censorship. Information is a crime. What you think is a crime.

A very sick and twisted joke indeed. And all too real. It would be good if it were a joke.

Those first two counts are sketchy indeed. The last two...well, I'd guess it would be unrelated. Unless they're talking about donations, which would be really messed up.

Are we sure it isn't yet? Just askin' :)
Reason being there's nothing on the major wire services I've seen so far - and the feds tend to try do this sort of thing with a great deal of fanfare. And the domain registration still shows as it used to be (it was registered on GoDaddy) and the IP address the URL is pointing to (141.101.117.93) is found in the Western EU - not likely to be a US DoJ address - so I'm semi-skeptical.
