Submission + - Feds & Hollywood Seize Domains of Movie Pirate 1

Submitted by adeelarshad82 on Wednesday June 30, 2010 @10:34PM

adeelarshad82 writes: The federal government and Hollywood teamed up to seize domain names of seven sites that allegedly trafficked in copyrighted movies without due payment. The so-called "Operation in Our Sites" sting targeted TVShack.net, Movies-links.tv, Filespump.com, Now-movies.com, PlanetMoviez.com, PirateCity.org, zml.com, NinjaVideo.net, and NinjaThis.net. The operation was run by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, in conjunction with several Hollywood studios. Unlike past anti-piracy efforts, the sites did not actually offer the movies for download, but instead streamed the movies and TV shows against ads. Previously, movie crackdowns had concentrated on sites that distributed movie files, most recently using the BitTorrent protocol.

Forge.mil would be used for items that can't necessarily go into a sourceforge or github type setting (due to ITAR restrictions and the like). Discussions abound as to the best place to host items that can be made available to all without cert. I've been in on some of the discussions and we are looking out for these concerns. None of us want to see code that should be available to all restricted for no good reason.

I've been watching the show for a while and regularly get the recipes online. Thanks for the changes of pace and the outstanding 30 minutes a week. My question is:
I live in the Atlanta area (which I hear you're based near) and was wondering where you go to get various kitchen utensils (pots and pans) and real spices (like the real Balsamic Vinegar from the pickle episode)?
