Microsoft takes down No-IP.com domains

Of course a court can seize domains. But if an investigation follows, it should be carried out by the police, not by private companies (and especially not by the plaintiff).

At least that's what I'd expect from a constitutional state ;-)

Police have failed to take any action on this.

If people gave the money they can (at least in England) mount a private criminal prosecution. That's very rare, but it does happen.

I'm pleased that MS is doing this. So long as it stays open, scrutinised by the courts, and restricted to massive malware botnets the results are good for almost everyone.

The Police DO NOT have the necessary hardware and software to take on such a task Andor. The Private Sector does because that is what they do.
