Counterstrike

For all of us disgusted by the actions of our government - in the back pocket of Hollywood lobbyists - by Taking down Megaupload.com yesterday will be happy to know its action has come at a steep price.

24-hours after the government move, www.DoJ.gov is still down.  So are other government and media sites who are behind the blatantly unconstitutional restrictions on the world wide web.

Here's a clip (is this illegal now, are the feds going to close me down?  Oh, I hope not.) from the Guardian, a UK site bemoaning loss of internet freedom across the Pond.  Good grief, even the British feel sorry for us:

The US government has closed down one of the world's largest filesharing websites, accusing its founders of racketeering, money laundering and presiding over "massive" online privacy.
According to prosecutors, Megaupload ilegally cheated copyright holders out of $500m in revenue as part of a criminal enterprise spanning five years.
A lawyer for Megaupload told the Guardian it would "vigorously" defend itself against the charges, dismissing the criminal action as "a civil case in disguise".

I don't know why the Pentagon is spending billions of dollars to keep up with the Chinese military buildup in the Western Pacific when our government is acting like the Communist Chinese more every day.

Anonymous is rapidly becoming the Robin Hood of our age, and you can thank government corruption and big media bribery for all of it.

When it comes to the new piracy bills before the House and Senate - it looks like the movie and recording industry lobbyists are going to have to grease a few more palms - this one is dead.
