"One of Spain’s most popular websites, whose American domains were seized as
part of a crackdown on internet piracy, asked a U.S. judge Monday to return its
property that it claims was wrongly taken.
The Rojadirecta .com and .org domains were seized in January along with eight
others connected to broadcasting pirated streams of professional sports.
The legal filing in New York federal court by site owner Puerto 80 Projects
represents what is believed to be the first courthouse challenge to “Operation in
Our Sites.” Commenced last year, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has
seized as many as 208 domains the authorities claim are linked to intellectual-
property fraud."
