I saw it on a website the other day wich had this warning. So bye bye site, hehe. I just thought it was pretty cool

coz of the new law in US, you will see this kind of things a lot more. Basicly if authorities THINK you hve kiddie porn or maybe even just illegal music they can do this without any proof.

THey've done so to some hosting company, only very badly. One of the customers had something unlawful on xyz.hosting.com, but they blocked the WHOLE domain, and thus ALL of their customers had on their homepage this kind of a picture -.-

Its no wonder the innovations comes from outside US when all they can come up with is blocking and shutting ppl down. Or sue them..

Hmm, do the US have the power to do this to any website even if the website is hosted/owned by people outside of the US?

Nope.

However they can "extend" their arm into the hosting company for "abuse" the their ISP may or may not cut the service, even with regular adsl/cable/fiber ISP clients if there are suspicions of criminal activity, most of the times with the "terrorist excuse".

I used to work on a major ISP, one of my works was precisely getting who owned a certain ip at a certain time when asked by our "feds", most of those enquiries came from the USA (around 95% of them)

However, if the domain is hosted (either registered or its main DNS) in the USA, they cut service without notice.

Sometimes I get into some very awesome discussions about freedom of speech and act (not really anarchist), and by the time being, the USA is the worst country in the world (even worst than communists) about freedom, anyone can get into jail cause of saying fuck in facebook, or posting tits... FFS
