This link doesn’t explain much.

And at least in Canada, doesn’t show any seizure notice.




Try this link: http://es.b-ok.lat/


It says seized, however, this is the first time I've seen a .lat TLD. I wonder if this is Latin America or Latvia

edit: found it! cool!

> .lat is an Internet generic top-level domain (gTLD) for Latin American communities and users wherever they may reside.


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.lat

What is interesting is that this does not appear to be a Verisign operated domain. The operator appears to be based entirely outside the US. I wonder how difficult it was to seize the domain.


Countries outside of US diplomacy often are amenable to financial diplomacy.


But it shows a block notice coming from Greece with the local message from the local copyright organization. This is really interesting, seems like there is a global list that local organizations also use and ask ISPs to do DNS redirections
