Homeland Security Seizes Dozens of Piracy Websites
- Thread starter Tom Goldman
- Start date
At first they'll claim they're trying to stop piracy, then they'll start shutting down sites critical of the government.
Doesn't take long to abuse powers.

Homeland security? So if people downloads illegal Justin Bieber album, they are terrorist? Umm??? Can someone help me here, how can that turn some little pimple faced 13 years old awkward girl in to a terrorist. Or, have I understood the American legal department' wrong again?
It is not an American service, these departments don't apply to them. They can block American connections from connecting to their servers, but they can bring down them or shut them down, since PB is Swedish and under Swedish law and EU regulations.Rusty Bucket said:

if you dont spend money and make money like a little puppet you are worthless, so they will do anything to make you start spending again.
Instead of downloading photo shop CS5 they want you to work in your little job for a month to afford it,
Dont you understand? we are not people in the eyes of the government we are play things that build up the money for the rich and if we decide not to give the rich money by stealing or downloading e.g piracy the rich from the government will come down on us
This does nothing, the pirated content is not on any specific site. It's on all of the users pc's. A new site is created and problem solved, it may actually benefit some sites by the shifting of people from one site to another in the search for a new place to regularly download.
It is like you were dirking with some friends on a corner and a police man ask's you to stop it, you move to another corner and he doesn't bother you for a few months/years.
Many of these sites benefit or are sustained by ad's content. Making it illegal to advertise on data sharing sites would be an interesting move.
That would be like blocking the money you and your friends use to buy booze. Free big traffic sites would be harder to sustain and that would probably be a bigger hit.

See? I can make a-priori arguments too! Doesn't make either of us right.
OT: Why is this a Homeland Security Issue?
There will be piracy as long as I live. Even if that means I'm delivering burnt DVDs by hand.

Give the man a prize for coming up with a plan that might actually have an effect on piracy.MasterSplinter said:
Sadly, people will still believe that going after the individual sites is going to be an enforcable strategy and the headlines of "A GREAT VICTORY AGAINST PIRATES!" will continue while these abusive laws keep getting misused by your government.
But hey...it's not like I have to live in this country of yours so...keep up with your cool stories, bros.
Look who is running this government. They are all crooks themselves and if they are not getting their piece of the action it pisses them off. So they'll shut them down until they pay the biggest criminal on the block,Uncle Sam. But, not to worry if you are on government support. Welfare and the like, the Democrats will come up with an entitlement program for you soon. After all if you dont have enough money to buy it, and God knows you deserve to have everything a hard working person has. The government will provide it for you and make the working class pay for it. There lies the real piracy. The government pirating hard working peoples money to give to illegal immigrants,lowlifes, and just generally lazy parasites in this country. I don't hear nobody screaming about that.Quit taking my money for all the worthless,lazy pieces of shit in this country and I will have extra cash to by things like cds,dvds etc. Until then I will seach,I will find,I will use everything available to me to compensate for their theft from me. Maybe you big makers of things being pirated should lean on the THIEVES in WAshington also.
