The latest news. Without the bill being passed, they have already started to close down sites. Yesterday, Megaupload was taken down.

They've taken down sites in the past and will again. It's just more proof that the draconian sledgehammer legislation enacted in SOPA, PIPA and DEBill are not needed.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE -- just about the awesomest name in law enforcement) has been taking down sites for over a year now. Mainly Chinese bootleggers and a few offshore poker sites.

Their line is that if you have a .com (or .net/.org for that matter) address, your site is subject to US law, so be warned.

I think you'll find it's the coolest name in law enforcement.

I'm pretty sure that my promise to vote against him in the next election (he's my Congressman) sealed the deal.

You're welcome.

He must have heard about your gun collection ;)

Everytime I see Kevin Murphy's avatar out of the corner of my eye, I keep thinking Chappers is looking a lot healthier.

Two guns doth not a collection make. He'd laugh at me.
