The site has well more than a million guests a day, and is listed amongst the 100 most favorite websites in Spain with regards to site visitors. This morning, however, visitors had been surprised by a warning from US authorities. Continuing the preceding “Operation in Our Sites” actions, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had seized [http://www.verfutbolya.info/rojadirecta rojadirecta] .org domain.

Rojadirecta is an uncommon target for various causes, not least since the internet site has been declared legal twice by Spanish courts. The site’s owners have previously fought a three year legal battle in Spain, which they won, but a single seizure warrant from US authorities has made this victory pointless.

With no receiving a notification or the option to defend themselves, the site’s domain was seized this morning.

“We have not been notified,” Rojadirecta’s Igor Seoane told TorrentFreak. As with the preceding seizures the domain registrar was bypassed in the seizure. “According to Go Daddy they've not touched something,” Seoane stated.

Equivalent to BitTorrent websites, Rojadirecta does not host any copyrighted material. As an alternative, it indexes HTTP links to sports streams which will already be discovered on the net, and also carries links to .torrent files that are hosted on other web sites.

The website is owned by a Spanish enterprise that pays its taxes and has been declared to operate legally in Spain. Moreover, the web site is not hosted inside the US either. The [http://www.verfutbolya.info/rojadirecta roja directa] only connection for the US is that the .org domain is maintained by a US corporation.

This indirect connection to the US makes the seizure a dubious action, according to Rojadirecta’s owner. “In our opinion the US authorities are totally despising the Spanish justice system and sovereignty,” Seoane told TorrentFreak.

In the moment Rojadirecta displays exactly the same message from DOJ and ICE because the internet sites seized last year, including Torrent-Finder. It is actually expected that Rojadirecta is among the initial of a brand new list of seized domains.

The message beneath is posted on Rojadirecta.org

The sports streaming and P2P link website is currently looking for legal suggestions, both in Spain and also the US, and its owners are determined to fight the seizure with all indicates they have.

Regardless of losing the .org domain, Rojadirecta can still be accessed via rojadirecta.com, rojadirecta.es, rojadirecta.me, rojadirecta.in. The latter two domains are interestingly enough maintained by the exact same corporation as the .org domain, but Rojadirecta ensures us that they have many other domains which can be not controlled by US authorities or providers.

The seizure of Rojadirecta shows that commercial interests are high on the agenda in the US Government. Seizing a domain that has been particularly declared to operate legally in other countries doesn't seem to be an obstacle. In this light, one particular has to wonder if generic domain names need to be controlled exclusively by US organizations.

Update: The owner of Channelsurfing.net informed us that his site was seized too. Channelsurfing embedded videos from other web-sites and never hosted any copyrighted material on its servers [http://www.verfutbolya.info/rojadirecta ver futbol] .
