Forfeiture (law)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Forfeiture is deprivation or destruction of a right in consequence of the non-performance of some obligation or condition.[1] It can be accidental, and therefore is distinguished from waiver; see waiver and forfeiture.
In the early 21st century, the United States Government began to seize domain names, on the legal theory that they were property used in criminal activities and thus subject to forfeiture.[citation needed]
