This federal law enforcement action against 132 web sites sounds really worthwhile:
“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and European officials seized 132 websites on Monday for allegedly selling counterfeit merchandise in a coordinated crackdown timed to coincide with the holiday shopping season.”
Until you get to the last sentence:
“But some advocates argue the website owners should have a chance to defend themselves before the site is shut down.”
Naw, that would be too much like the Land of The Free. Can’t have that.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
The notion that many sites are not exactly participating in the unlawful sales but just serving as a medium by displaying someones’ advertising seems to be totally alien to cops.
A person managing a site usually doesn’t have any control or very little control of the advertisement contents, such as Google or Amazon or whatever. So “alleged” is the keyword here, but the action of “seizing” puts the burden of proof on the accused person.
Some freedom that… but this is the situation with the Internet all over the world. As you know itself from the latest experience with Amazon.
“yourself” of course… gosh.
Hmmm. Amazon’s take down of the reviews isn’t kosher, but it involved no material harm. They didn’t reach across the Innertubes and shut down my blog.
