Is there a method to see which domains were seized, when 3 letter agencies seize them due to piracy.

Within the past month or two, Europol et al seized ~100 IPTV domains. I'm curious to know what these domains were. I've Googled but my Googlefuu isn't good enough.

And I'm curious in general for all piracy related domain seizes.

but my Googlefuu isn’t good enough.

To be fair, with how shit Google has become, it's likely none of our Googlefuu would be enough.

Along the same lines I've been wondering if there's a list of sites AU ISPs block on account of piracy. I could use a few more good sources, and I'm feeling spiteful 😈

Also related, is there a non-onion domain system that isn't controlled by the government and big corporations but that unlike the onion allows for short, memorable names rather than long strings of random characters?

Not 100% clear but reading the i2p docs I think they have user friendly names

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, i2p has a system similar to DNS for human-readable names.

there is https://opennic.org/ but I don't know how they deal with stuff

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Okay, that is confusing. Do you need a special client or something from them to be able to access websites or what? I couldn't figure it out (probably because I'm dumb).

It looks like its just a different DNS server that allows them to resolve their own special TLDs

GNUNet technically exists; but I've never seen it being used in a noticable manner.
