The Department of Justice today seized 3
websites that the agency said were trafficking in pirated Android apps.
The domains - applanet.net, appbucket.net, and snappzmarket.com - are now in the custody of the federal government. Those who navigate to those sites are met with a note that says the domain has been seized by the FBI, as well as a warning about the penalties for piracy.

The DOJ said this is the first time U.S. officials have seized domains related to the illegal sale of cell phone apps. "Software apps have become an increasingly essential part of our nation's economy and creative culture, and the Criminal Division is committed to working with our law enforcement partners to protect the creators of these apps and other forms of intellectual property from those who seek to steal it," Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer
said in a statement.
