I thought the COICA bill still hadn't past yet. But apparently that doesn't matter anymore. The site was a streaming site deemed legal by Spanish courts and was seized anyway.
Whether these sites broke the law or not isn't the point, they were just cut off without a hearing, trial or due process.
The site gives the picture

On another note how did they seize the domain if GoDaddy was the registrar without notifying them ?

Operation In Our Sites, a US initiative to crack down on websites related to online copyright infringement, appears to be ongoing. Rojadirecta is a site that links to (but does not host) broadcasts of major sporting events, including soccer matches. It is highly popular in Spain, where it has prevailed twice in court after its legal status was challenged. However, US authorities have now seized the .org domain of the website without notifying the site's owner or its web host, GoDaddy.
