Hooray for ever-pervasive government controlling what you are allowed to do on the internet!


...you mean like obeying the law.

The problem is that it sets a terrible precedent for the government's ability to alter and shutdown websites.

Imagine what happens when labour websites are shut down because they are deemed against the current government. We fought against SOPA/PIPA in the US and won, yet it seems that the UK is going through with nearly the same kind of actions without any vote.

Ultimately, the value of freedom is in what extreme things can be done, even share/pirate music. Yes, there are legal ways to deal with violators, but going in and shutting down the websites is very terrible precedent.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
