The title recorded here is the page's own \ element, which is the same headline in sentence case. - Scope caution for the citing record: this release covers Operation In Our Sites v. 2.0 (29 November 2010), not the initial June 2010 phase that td\_2010\_operation\_in\_our\_sites is named for. The page describes that first phase only in passing: 'The operation builds upon Operation in Our Sites I, which was announced in June 2010. In that first action ... authorities executed seizure warrants against nine domain names of websites offering pirated copies of first-run movies.'
