US Government Takes Down File Sharing Websites

we're fucked. i think we know it. They should have at least left us our 4-loco

 

Copyright law exceeds what I consider fair use.
Until we stop electing the same corporate sellouts to congress, we should not be astonished when simple freedoms disappear.

 

even on dialup, when i cannot participate, this saddens me

file sharing is among the greatest of the things that the internet has brought us

[another is all my new long-distance friends]

 

This sucks... geez it really is becoming a police state. drugs are illegal, gay marriage isn't legal everywhere, every time a new drug comes out they ban it out of fear, war is approaching, and all anyone seems to give a shit about is Black Friday sales.

 

Censorship on the World, Wide, Web.

What is this "Free Speech" you speak of?

 

free speech is dying.

 

Yay government for yet again doing what's best for us!
:groupwave:

 

wa bluska, remember the old days?
Bulletin boards on home servers?
I had so much fun with that and lots and lots of files were shared.

 

geez, when's the last time they've done anything that's good for us? this is out of control... do they not see the pissed off people? they can't just keep fucking with us and taking everything away...

 

If you don't like it then you can just GET OUT!!
America's been protecting your balls since the marijuana stamp act of 1937!!

 

My sarcasm detector just took out an entire city grid...

 

Aww gee, where we gonna get free movies and music now?
Fucking fascists...:beatnik:

ZW

 

I'd re-write our anthem to be 'land of the temporarily privileged, home of the suckers' if it were up to me.

 

There's got to be a middle ground. Music companies should not be pulling the plug on Youtube videos and then totally denying access to videos AT ANY PRICE!!!

 

actually, i do

interesting that you didn't calling the the good old days

freer? yes

slower? omg . . .

 

I think at this point their is only one choice for the US and european countries. I don't think a peaceful movement will change things at all now. Im honestly waiting for all hell to break loose because its the only chance this country has of being fixed. I study history and I believe Jefferson's warnings and idea best say what needs to be done. Below are two of his quotes I agree with. though as bad as war is, I believe it is sometimes the only option.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

''The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.''

 

Did they really take 4loco?

I'm gunna go put pancake syrup and crushed no-doze in Old English 800 now, and make some monies, al capone style.:mickey:

 

and they replaced it with porn .. so whats the big deal?.
