I think there is more to this shut down than the cover story. This smells like a cover story. If it weren't I suspect the media would have picked it up. An ISP has an obligation IMO to prevent violation of copyright laws.
I agree but they should be fined first and if they don't stop then maybe shut them down.

To be fair, the Bush Administration did the same thing.
It was supposed to be different this time.... we were promised Change.

LOL yeah. The government rarely changes. If they do they normally get worse. The best hope we have is that congress and the president don't get along. I still remember the late 90s when the economy was golden, the congress and president hated each others guts and we ended up with a surplus. Unfortunately we ended up with next LBJ at the beginning of this century.

We need people that don't get along in Washington so they stop changing the rules on us.

Theoretically, we have three branches of government so one doesn't get all high & mighty, taking control of everything and creating a tyrannical situation, or trying to go back to a Monarchy. All three are supposed to be the checks and balances for the others and what we have now is all three in virtual lock-step with a few stragglers complaining along the way. Congress kept Carter from running us into the ground and we still had major problems with Iran and the oil embargo. A congress who thinks the same as a President is the same as the biggest blank check in the world. They're no different from someone who says "I MUST have money- I still have checks". As the Sen. in 'Shooter' said, "there's no Democrats and Rebublicans, it's the 'haves' and 'have-nots'."

I have no problem if someone has a buttload of money and all of their friends are the same. I have a problem when people think that their money makes them ten feet tall and bulletproof. I have a problem when the government is so arrogant that they treat the populace as their subjects, as if all of them are completely ignorant of "how things are". When that same government is responsible for bad education systems, keeping people in bad physical condition through abolishing physical ed. classes and when fast food equals garbage food, the rest have little chance of creating change on their own. If the government ever begins to restrict who goes to school and who doesn't, it's time for a major personnel change. Just making it a requirement for kids to go to school doesn't guarantee good results and they have shown this for decades.

Too many people voted with their emotions. It's high time people thought about who they're electing, not who will make it an "historical election".

yea, honestly they all have the same agenda, bush intentionally screws up the country so now everyone wants a savior, so they're given one, they are willing to do drastic things to get things fixed, even if it means giving up liberty, just like the BS patriot act, if people werent scared sh*tless, they would have NEVER put up with that rediculous bill. i also beleive our govt. was responsible for 9/11, but im sure that statement will generate alot of heat, all i can say to those who are having a wtf? moment is research it.

I always say that people like you need to stop talking and start running. The best politicians we had were pissed off Americans determined to change Washington. The beauty of our system is that anyone can run for office and win. Why not give it a go? We need more of your kind in office.

I have a philosophy that says don't complain, act! If more people acted rather than complaining I think we'd see the real change this country needs.

or any media lol
Media isn't what it used to be. The hours are too long and the pay too low for a vital part of our country. I personally know a reporter and he makes as much as a grocery store clerk. He has a college degree. Media is very important and should be valued because a free media is what keeps this police state in check.

I'm not sure I could stand to be around that many sleazeballs. Also, I'm hardly the kind we need in office- we need people who can see through the sort in office who start lying long before they run for that position. Usually, when someone gets the idea that a member of Congress is lying, it's way too late unless they suspect everyone from the start.

I don't have ice water running through my veins and that's what we need. That, and ethics.

I agree as well, but not without proof of such activity. Hearsay is just that. If, there is evidence, then why not publish it and inform the wrongdoer? Why lie about it, in the case of that Swiss event?
