OK... so, I get the copyright infringement issue...
what I don't get is, how does that fall under the domain of ICE and Homeland Security?????
There's much more to this, than copyright infringement...

A lot of websites whose only legal violation is copyright have been seized under the auspices of national security. This has been a hot topic among filesharing sites, like The Pirate Bay and similar torrent hubs, music sharing sites, and the like. IP enforcement and Homeland Security are being merged in a strange and disturbing way.
