Even with SOPA and PIPA tabled for now, there remains considerable pressure on suspect websites, which, in the eyes of the entertainment industry, remain a bane of their existence. One such site, of course, is Newzbin.com, which is now in a position where it needs to change to Newzbin.es because of such pressure. Here's the latest from Newzbin.com...
"Newzbin is leaving the American Internet. In a couple of weeks we will cease to use the newzbin.com domain and move to newzbin2.es."
"We regret the need to do this but, thanks to the retards in the US Government and the MPA, a '.com' address is no longer viable. Really, any domain controlled by the US government proxy Verisign isn't viable.
"For the next couple of weeks we are undertaking preparations for the move. We will switch shortly after that. For legal reasons the defunct 'newzbin.com' page will not do any redirects or give links to the new sites. If you wish you can start using the .es domain straight away.
"As you may know we rent the domain name rather than own it. What the owners will do with it when we are gone is out of our control, but we will pay the rent for a few more months."
