The U.S. seized 150 domain names of websites selling counterfeit goods -- including fake Ugg boots and Nike sneakers -- in a crackdown on retailers violating intellectual property laws, authorities said.
Law enforcement agencies disclosed the seizures yesterday to coincide with the so-called Cyber Monday online shopping day. Shoppers visiting the seized sites now see a banner saying authorities have taken over the websites.
