Well, looks like I was right about one thing.
The SOPA has not even become a law yet and the DOJ and FBI are already cracking down on piracy sites. Specifically, Megaupload.
So why the heck do they need to bother passing a law to give them such powers? They’re already using existing powers to the same effect.
So, the purpose of SOPA must be something quite different…
Need I say more?
So, some anonymous group, who goes by the really original name “Anonymous”, blacked out a few sites in retaliation
Then they posted a video wearing the mask from the movie “V is for Vendetta”.
Yes, imagine the irony: a fictitious Hollywood movie character comes to combat… well, Hollywood. And if that’s not irony, I must be reading the plotline wrong.
Still, the Feds got law enforcement agents in six other countries to help with their crackdown on Megaupload. And all that without the aid of anything like a SOPA law on the books. Well, all except all those other laws we already have about copyright infringement and such.
So, they proved they don’t need the SOPA, so why are they pushing so hard for it?
Like I said, need I say more?
