Did enforcers encounter the problem of sites closing down or disappearing? Did any re-open under another name, or did any ignore the enforcement demands?
It is the job of the enforcers to check the market and correct mistakes. They are free to use all the powers in their possession to cease infringements. Companies can not just ignore the instructions of the authorities. During the enforcement phase about 17% of the websites disappeared but the operators were not found to have re-opened their sites elsewhere; action of this kind will not however, be handled in the framework of the present Sweep. Nevertheless, subsequent enforcement actions may identify such new sites and authorities may check these sites repeatedly.
