Hero's Soapbox

Which is what they will say.

The government will say the following:

"Megaupload was a major hub of illegal downloads, hacker tools, computer viruses, and child porn"

"We took down Megaupload to protect America"

"A number of hackers viciously hacked into and disabled government infrastructure in retaliation to us dismantling one of their central sites of organization. These hackers are a threat to the security and lives of all Americans and must be stopped. SOPA and PIPA must be passed."

And the general public, in their infinite idiocy, will believe every word.

PS: SOPA is a distraction and was never intended to pass. Watch PIPA.

1. The protests did nothing, they were the occupy movement of the internet... it got nothing done and just came off as a bunch of whiny !@#$%*es.

2. Anonymous did what they did because they thought it was right, same thing you did.

3. The only reason those bills went away was because it was a !@#$@#$ election year. Politicians are in the business to get reelected, and that wouldn't happen if a bill like SOPA or PIPA was passed, give it half a !@#$@#$ year and we will see it again when everyone is safe in their seats.

4. Megaupload is a casualty in this war, yes. But the government says that about everything it doesn't like. Give it time and the site will come back under a different name.
