US Homeland Security Drops the Hammer

So this past Saturday I logged on to Onsmash for my weekly music news and low and behold, I find nothing but the above pic. Apparently  the Department of Homeland Security seized over 80 sites last Friday as part of webwide crack down. I for one was not aware that onsmash conducted shady dealings, and they continue to protest there innocence on Twitter, launching a "Free Onsmash" campaign which is gaining support.      
  
Onsmash wasn't the only site hit, rapgodfathers.com was also shut down along with about dozen counterfeit shoe and apparel sites.  The news has been buzzing all over the web for the past couple days, below is a list of the apparel sites that also feel victim.  

- bishoe.com
- 51607.com
- icqshoes.com
- jordansbox.com
- massnike.com
- merrytimberland.com
- mytend.com
- realtimberland.com
- sohob2b.com
- sohob2c.com
- tbl-sports.com
 - timberlandlike.com
