guilty-until-proven-innocent DHS Seizes Websites for Merely LINKING to Copyrighted Material

I'm aware this (phrase) is the general legal attitude approach in USA. Here & some other countries you are considered innocent until proven guilty.

I'm not one who knows a lot about history but wasn't the USA the first country to hold freedom and freedom of information (I believe it's the first amendment) above the rights of an all encompassing government.

It seems that the DHS has either forgotten this, think that they are above it or have awarded themselves extra judicial powers.

I guess its now up to the US courts to decide.
