    @Sibuna: that happened more than 9 months ago, so it doesn't exist. all problems in the world stem from Obama. he's the reason babies cry and your great great grandparents died. he caused katrina to help him get elected. he wants you to get immunized because he knows viruses are really your friends and he doesn't want you to have any friends. i know i missed some, but its hard to be organized sometimes when you're busy being fanatical. #fraud

    @chapoec: Look if you have disdain for an individual and his administration, provide facts and references to support your weak-minded claims.

    It is easy to shout out fallacies; while remaining mentally stunted in order to think you are doing what is considered en vogue amongst your fellow ignorant peers and media select. Likewise it takes the greater INDIVIDUAL to take stock in ones own comments,beliefs and morals; while determining that what he is about to say is based on facts, obtained through due diligence and verified to be true. Otherwise you come off as one of the millions of uneducated "herd", who we the educated and INDEPENDENTLY thinking call a: "dumb ass", "ignoramus", "numb nuts", "mental midget", "intellectually brief", etc...

    Do us all a favor and put a self-imposed moratorium on all of your ignorance and stupidity. Society will thank you for it.

    Once again.... more sheep to slaughter. #fraud

    @Zanzan42: Sibuna correctly said she was arrested for that. Arrested != Convicted. To me the conviction is less evident of executive intent since that's in the hands of the judiciary. It's the arrest that shows what they wanted.

    Just in case that wasn't enough dorky nitpicking: While they couldn't make a good case on the securities fraud, it wasn't perjury that they got her on. It was conspiracy, obstruction of an agency proceeding, and making false statements to federal investigators. Subtly different from perjury. Same idea: Lying, but not in court.

    There is more material in the public domain as torrents than illegal material. Maybe you've just been looking for the illegal material.

    I bet you're one of those a-holes that wants to make guns illegal because a few criminals use them. Let's apply the same logic to the internet. BRING THE WHOLE INTERNET DOWN, ITS USED FOR TOO MANY ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES.

    (Back online in a few hours.)
    We have, ourselves, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our Internets, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.
    Even though large parts of Internets and many old and famous trackers have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Ifpi and all the odious apparatus of MPAA rule, we shall not flag or fail.
    We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the ef-nets and darknets, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Internets, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the baywords.org, we shall fight on the /. and on the digg, we shall fight in the courts;
    we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, the Internets or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the Anon Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in Cerf's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

    Ive been illeagally downloading music, movies, tv shows, copyrighted photos since 2000, and people have consistently failed to stop or catch me.

    Ive said it for years, the only way you can stop these people and sites like Pirate Bay and Google from giving links to illeagal content, is to ban all computer worldwide and all internet connections not just the companys

    REMEMBER ALL THESE USE FULL THINGS FOR GETTING ILLEAGAL CONTENT ARE STILL LEAGAL

    - Recording Equipment
    - Computers
