now the war is declared to the US government by netjackers who have blocked some american sites.
are all options on the table in case this escalates? the nuclear option?
until there's a Internet WWII, I think we have to be okay with calling it the Internet Great War or the Internet War to End All Wars. or something.
How about Web World War II in miniature? Or am I thinking of the Spanish Civil War?
i dunno...were there a lot of ducks in that one or something?
no fair, i'm calling fowl.

It's not only about the freedom of speech, it's about BIG money. Both entertainment lobbyists and sharing sites fight over a big piece of cake they want for themselves. Sites like megaupload make big money from selling premium packages and ads, they are no Robin Hoods, believe me. Take a look at this: [jalopnik.com] and showbiz wants this cake exclusively. Both entities don't care about regular people, they care about their money. Remember it.
So the government is working as an office boy for the entertainment industry now? Is that what
we need a government for?
And is there anything wrong with selling premium packages and ads?

Its not all about money. Wikipedia went down one day in protest. Facebook and Google expect problems too. The US goverment wants control over the world; what we read, listen to or watch, and of course all the " underdogs" do as they are told! What the heck is FBI doing in New Zealand, Germany a.s.o? I wonder what would happen if China or Germany shut down an American company without asking?? Maybe a nice little war? FBI has exeeded their legaly authority- again!.
I wish all hackers all the best in their fight against Uncle Sam /FBI!

You can't talk to Bo that way.
His impassioned speech spurred me to get on my combat sweater and marching loafers!

When I first read your post, I though it said 'impassioned slurred speech', which made me think that he was either drunk, or having a stroke.
As it is cold outside, a combat sweater makes sense for all outdoor protests.

Exactly and I bet yer @ss that sooner or later a clone of MU will rise from China, as part of the stealthy war between Beijing and Washington.
The Chinese already make boot dvds and cds of the major US releases so a Direct-DL site operating out of a Chinese city is the next logical step.
And good luck to the FBI to stop this one.

We really need some help here overhauling the Internets flaunting and creative rights killing ways. I'm totally OK with the gov't doing this , it's about time. Film, music aand patent copyrights are all being abused at an all time high and it is NOT a good thing for any of those business areas.
I never jumped on Napster when it came out, I knew it was wrong. It's like the door to the local supermarket being blown open by a big storm. Are you gonna go in and fill your pockets just because the rest of the block is doing it? It's WRONG, that's why I wouldn't do it. Stealing is stealing. Too bad we don't have the collective moral code to prevent this kind of runaway BS.
I'm willing to PAY for what I want, that's what makes the system work imho.
That being said the liberal hollywood elite are behind SOPA so they can continue to afford their high priced drugs and hookers.
However, the devil is in the details... and the republican lawmaker that wrote the bill made it impossible to support. peace

the propagtion of notoriety leads to dollars for the artists. !

No offense...Please consider all revenue generated from Website Ads. Keep in Mind that Artists are now in business with sites such as YouTube and Reddit for example. They share. Why? Anytime a video is played, for example, a commercial preempts the video. Don't worry! This is more of a collateral business endeavor than realized!
