DOJ Seizes Sites For Illegally Selling Android Apps

The Department of Justice has seized the assets of three websites for allegedly distributing illegal copies of copyrighted Android apps, the first time the agency has been involved in fighting app piracy.

Here is more from the DOJ’s press release: “The three seized domain names – applanet.net, appbucket.net and snappzmarket.com – are in the custody of the federal government.  Visitors to the sites will now find a seizure banner that notifies them that the domain name has been seized by federal authorities and educates them that willful copyright infringement is a federal crime.”
