Meh...
They better damn well set some rules, they should only have the power to shut down sites known to be infiringing, not just any site they feel is doing so.
Perhaps make it so that there needs to be a warrant of sorts before a site can be shut down?

The point is that they haven't actually taken down a single site that engages in piracy; the only sites that they've taken down (their 'great victory') are sites which openly sell counterfeit versions of products manufactured in the US.
'That's right, I just called the President a political smoke screen.'
You've only just figured that out? ANY elected official is little more than a puppet. The trick is to figure out who's pulling the strings.
As for the US Government cracking down on piracy - they can suck on my salty balls. Talk about fucked up priorites. It's not enough that they make enemies of the reast of the world, they're now doing their darndest to make enemies out of their own people (although I guess the 'War on Drugs' has been doing that for years). And the stupidest thing is that since Australian politicians have no imagination, it's only a matter of time before we start hearing the same bullshit rhetoric here as well.
Time for another revolution, America.

How exactly does "stopping piracy sites" figure into homeland security? It's a threat to corporations, sure but not something that requires the full attention of the US government. Oh, right...
So Congress shoots down any idea that might help the economic troubles most citizens face, but they agree that a futile attempts to solve a trivial problem (I don't care what anyone says, piracy IS trivial) for big business needs immediate approval.
Nice to see priorities are in order.

I agree completely. Internet Piracy= Bad and it should be slowed but their will always be ways for them to Pirate.Scabadus said:
At the end of the day if someone wants to download song X or watch program Y, the internet will find a way to make it happen. Always. They're just throwing good money away.
Eventually, Anonymous will get involved then the worlds in deep crap.
Anonymous vs. The US Goverment? You couldn't get me to bet a quid on how thats gonna turn out.

If the President wants 4chan taken down, it will be taken down, no doubt about it.Isalan said:
Where talking about a man incharge of one of the world's superpowers, I doubt he dosnt have the authority to take down a potential threat to his country.
Luckly for 4chan, Obama is a /b/tard and would never betray his fellow /b/rothers.
