the
domains of 27 file-sharing websites in the Italian jurisdiction. Moreover,
the prosecutor announced the possibility to initiate international legal
procedures to demand the proper seizure of the domains. The targeted
file-sharing sites are registered at the top-level domains .com, .org,
.net, .ch, .tv, .it .in and .co. Investigations by the Italian Cybercrime
Police led to the crackdown that followed a copyright infringement
complaint<http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=it&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&eotf=1&u=http://www.lastampa.it/2013/04/16/tecnologia/oscurati-siti-di-video-streaming-da-un-gip-di-roma-cMmM7v1hIihQ8du1gwSTsL/pag%20ina.html>

by the Italian distributor of the French animated movie “A Monster of
