What Happened To Putlocker.bz? Site Gets New ".Is" Domain

For those who enjoyed the free streaming movie website, however, it seems Putlocker has found itself a refuge in an alternative domain in Iceland.

Putlocker.bz is just one of many illegal streaming movie websites that have had their domains seized or blocked in the last several months, including sites like Torrentz.eu, FileCrop,Cricfree, Delishows and more. While at this time it is uncertain what the cause of the site's domain seizure was, the site operator did provide a small hint at where the trouble was located.

"We are having an issue with .BZ Registry, so we had to move from putlocker.bz to http://putlocker.is/. IS is the domain name of Iceland - a safe haven for freedom of speech," said the site's operator.
