BINGO! Show the man what he's won!

I think this article is trying to put a spin on the bill in the aspect of privacy software. Something just doesn't seem right......I mean severely limiting use of privacy software? I dunno.....something is fishy.

If this concerns you and you're a voting citizen, then call your state Senators and your precinct's Representative and voice your opinion!

I like that

The main reason I use torrents to download things (breaking no copyrights, strictly open source programs only) is because I am too impatient to wait for delivery if it came on a DVD.

There is no legitimate excuse for pirating... ffs lets call a spade a spade - "There is no legitimate excuse for theft".

Lmao, this means Google, Yahoo, and every other search engine will be removed from the internet. THEY ALL LEAD TO ILLEGAL INFORMATION!

It's called a life, senator, get one.

There are legitimate reasons for torrenting. So why should trackers be shut down? See my car analogy above.

Don't blame the pirates for the industry's downfall. They are doing the same with music, and the only people getting anywhere are those offering music cheaply and easily (iTunes and the like).

Look at gaming, Steam is immensely popular. It's easier, cheaper, and people will pay a reasonable fee for that ease.

And, jumping on your side about legit reasons for torrenting, I take it you like to torrent your Linux Distros?

There is already an international DCMA type treaty (I forget the name). Sweden is not a part of it which is why TPB can legally operate there. I don' see how making another treaty, which I'm sure Sweden would not be a part of, will fix anything
