we'll get the iPatriotAct soon enough, don't worry

Meh, one close down, something else is created somewhere else in a back-alley of the internet. It's the cycle of the intarwebs. Just never let go and continue fighting against web totalitarism. If you stop fighting humanity will lose.

I absolutely hate this country right now, it's getting fucking scary.. Still haven't gotten last years tax refund because the IRS doesn't think I am me and refuses to accept that i'm me when I show up in person. They also won't tell me how to fix it, which is probably going to fuck me in the butthole 2012.

The Internet is being destroyed. Our food supply is tainted and swiftly ensures most Americans will spend more time paying for health care, Western chronic disease and disorder is widespread and on the rise still. They'd rather blow funds on locking stoners away for life and carpet bombing foreign civilians with a bad apple among them.

We're forced by law to participate in the scam that is insurance industry. And lately the feds have been working hard to ensure the poor stay poor.

It is so obvious what is happening...

Most mega corporations and the giant turd that is our federal government have no conscience it seems. The race to climb the socioeconomic ladder trumps any and all desire to enrich the lives of our people.

What just happened in Iraq and during the Bush administration? Cmon guys, just WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!? 8 years of anti-human legislature, we finally elect a black guy (took 236 years), and nothing changes just more of the same. Now there's 8 or so fucking devolved apes in suits trying to replace him that probably jerk off every night to fantasies of power.

I want nothing to do with any other them unless it involves kicking repeatedly in the nutsack

This is the end, 2012 is real, the mayan were right.

Let's just live happily and build and share what we make! Fucking humans, will we ever get it?

Anonymous is basically controlled opposition at this point, right? The idea that the most appropriate response to infringement on freedom of information is to DDoS some "bad" websites for a day, is immensely stupid.

what if they make joyrex fry eggs on his router cuz ur talking bad about them

this site reflects on him and no childish stuff should occur so don't make fun of anonymous

Someone else pointed out this being a potential reason in the comments under that first article, but I was surprised to find something so seemingly concrete:

I remember hating Chris Dodd when I was a kid because of his stance on violent video games...had no idea he's head of the MPAA!

Edit: I am embarassed to notice the article is on "foxnews.com" though.

"I would caution people don't make the assumption that because the quote 'Hollywood community' has been historically supportive of Democrats, which they have, don't make the false assumptions this year that because we did it in years past, we will do it this year," said Dodd. "These issues before us -- this is the only issue that goes right to the heart of this industry."

I just watched the newest episode of Adventure Time on YouTube - illegally. Better shut down YouTube.

there's not much difference between what megaupload did and what youtube does. but of course youtube is owned by google, so it's safe.

thank you based anon.

"You can complain and say, well, actors make a lot of money and they don't have to worry about this," said Dodd. "You tell that to that camera guy, you tell that to that makeup artist, you tell that to that truck driver out there who made, makes a living because they work in this industry."

Hahahaha. Who's fault is it that the actors get paid the most and everyone else gets shafted? Hollywood, moron.

this is actually really crazy and smart

they are basically using idiots to ddos now

click a pastehtml link on twitter, get redirected to a LOIC reload loop

not only does this give them a MUCH greater ability to DDOS, it also makes pinpointing whoever started the whole thing that much harder
