The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has seized the domain names of several gaming-related pirate sites, including NSW2U.com, which has been Nintendo's nemesis for years. The operation was carried out in collaboration with other law enforcement agencies, including the Dutch fiscal police. It is not immediately clear whether the action is linked to any arrests or indictments.

As if they can't just move to another domain, administrated by a different government that doesn't care.

I feel like putting up games before they're released is just asking for trouble. I'm kind of surprised it took so long.
