The U.S. is busy blocking torrent sites and streaming. Often there is an alternative to the blocked domains. Fire sends MAFIAA Firefox users will automatically go.

In the U.S. more often com .org and net domains through the courts forced offline to the registry, without prior notice. This happened just before the Super Bowl rojadirecta.com example, a popular streaming site to watch sporting events. The site is a stamp placed stating that the content was available through the site in the U.S. is illegal.

Blocking sites

. Org,. Net and. Com are all run by U.S. companies, and thus fall under U.S. jurisdiction. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) branch of the Amrerikaanse Department of Homeland Security intends to use this method more sites quickly through the courts to force offline.

This problem for Americans is that there is often an alternative domain is available immediately as a site be taken offline. Rojadirecta example, a Spanish site next to one. Com domain also runs on rojadirecta.es. And the latter is still in the air.

Automatically redirect

Here are the creators of Fire MAFIAA now use. Who the Firefox add-on installed will be automatically redirected to the alternative domain. So who rojadirecta.com to surf and the add-on, will be automatically redirected to rojadirecta.es. Same with torrent-finder.com, now uses a. Info domain.

TorrentFreak spoke to the developer of add-on that gives webmasters the option to alternate domains to log into the service. Controlled by the creators of Fire MAFIAA and can then, if need be, encouraged by the owners of the site.

More rebellious plans

"Our goal is to attempts by governments to censor the Internet to reverse," says the developer to TorrentFreak. The authors also want to do everything the anti-piracy efforts of industry and "their business models from the era of dinosaurs" at work.

Besides redirect blocked sites saying the Fire MAFIAA developer to have something in store for the websites of anti-piracy organizations worldwide. He is compiling a list of the domain names of those organizations and the countries in which they live.
