Firefox extension diverts users to replacements for seized domain
names and sites

"Why? Well, in one word: fairness - and balance of power. A little
while back the scumbag anti-piracy organizations like the RIAA and
MPAA (Also known as the Music and Film Industry Association of America
MAFIAA) ran to the American government whining like they usually do
and got ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) involved with taking
down websites - local AND foreign websites. These anti-piracy
companies submitted a wish list of sites that they did not like and
ICE (like good lapdogs) started to seize those domains."
