The problem was - the service was not always being used legitimately. Apparently the service has been used in some international heists. We cant give everyone a pass just because you’re honest. It sounds like it was a mere inconvenience and not a violation of any rights.

Fixed it for ya.

Let's say you own a large hotel (or a shopping mall or any other legal business with lots of customers leasing space). The feds determine that one of your customers is using a room to sell pirated DVDs (or to commit mail fraud or any one of thousands of possible federal criminal offenses).

So the feds seize and shut down your hotel without any due process or even prior notice. They won't tell you why they seized your hotel, just that you are now out of business.

A few days or weeks later, the feds give you back your hotel and say, "Never mind." Still no reason given for the seizure or compensation for all of the business that you lost (and will continue to lose now that most of your customers are afraid to come back).

Still sound like it was a mere inconvenience and not a violation of any rights?

I can’t believe you think that way. Wow! What a tool you are.

That’s still a ridiculous reason to shut down a website. If a bank robber stashes his loot in a bus station locker, can the government seize the bus station? How about if a wanted fugitive hides out from authorities in a hotel room, can they shut down Holiday Inn? Do we shut down AOL if a Nigerian email scammer uses it to commit wire fraud?
