Court Won’t Return Seized Domain Names: Says No Hardship Caused
A federal judge has refused to return the domain name of a Spanish company accused of violating copyright law.
Earlier this year US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) seized the domain name Rojadirecta.org owned by Spanish firm Puerto 80 along with several other Web addresses. Puerto 80 was the only defendant to file a petition in the court, claiming the action was seriously damaging its business.
The judge disagreed, claiming the seizure has caused no significant hardship.
