We‘ve highlighted a number of stories recently about the City of London Police, who have partnered with a few legacy players from the entertainment industry, and are using a bunch of taxpayer money to try to shut down websites the copyright industry doesn‘t like — based on no clear legal reasoning or authority. They often seem to just rely on their name and bogus threats to get registrars to kill sites — a process that has been found to violate ICANN policies for registrars. However, most registrars just give in, because the City of London Police just look so damn official.
