ISONEWS is now the property of the United States government.


The domain and web site were surrendered to U.S. law enforcement pursuant to a federal prosecution and felony plea agreement for conspiracy to violate criminal copyright laws.

Yup, was just about to post this, but ya beat me to it :) Check out www.isonews.com for the story.

Yeap just noticed it a few mins. ago. :(

It took long enough for them to get shut down.

in my online class i gave them a link to it since we are on copyright issues right now; wondering what they will have to say about it.

hopefully, you will get an "A" in the class now!

Really bad news :(

Uh, I just checked the site and see nothing out of the ordinary. :blink:

Moe

Nothing outta the blues!! Seems allright to me!!!

i think the domain name probably got transfered to a govt. server, which means your isp's dns servers probably haven't updated yet so you're still seeing the old location

You're right Sephiroth.
This is a post from the ISONews forum:

Yes its true. The DOJ has taken control of the isonews.com DNS which now points to 149.101.1.91

If you link directly to http://66.201.243.170 you can still reach the site. This is a good interim solution as the official DNS may be gone for good.

If you can still reach isonews.com from the old dns its only because your ISP has not updated its cache. Take note of the ip now if you still want to be able to reach isonews
http://66.201.243.170

Hop into efnet #isonews for updates as they arrive. We'll try to keep things running here until the situation becomes clearer.

If you want to post 'goodbye'/'this sux' and any of the thousand other witty comments can you please keep them in this:
