Final Fantasy Hacktics

Exactly as the topic title says. This is getting out of hand.

don't even need sopa, fucking dictator goverment

Luckily I use Mediafire

One thing you guys can do is take part in the flooding of your Congressman's email complaining about it.
Our congressman's is pretty cool, he even sent me a personal email one time assuring me that he'd never vote against internet freedom. He also strange and wears a bow-tie:

here's a link for any international people concerned:

Should've targeted rapidshare. They suck (more).

But yes, this places a disturbing precedent. File sharing is not illegal. You don't go after your local department of transportation when someone has drugs in their car.

"But the roads enabled them!"

So if I sell people securities that I know are bad, and then bet that those securities will become worthless, I get a bailout.  But if I violate copyright, then the full might of the Justice Department will fall on me.

If anyone had any doubts, you now know who our gov't works for.

Thank you Anonymous.

Megaupload too...

Did anybody else notice that that article said MegaUpload was a criminal organization?
No, they're not a free service with abuse potential,
THEY ARE THE FUCKING INTERNET MAFIA.

Yeah, and NAPSTER  BAD!

As you guys might have noticed, I was talking about Anon taking action on this shit.
Here if you want the logs, but beware its long.

The war on drugs, the patriot act, and now this. 
First it became illegal to carry large sums of cash because you were clearly going to buy drugs with it.
Then it became illegal to be a Muslim because you clearly hate America for our freedom.
Now it is illegal to share any files with anyone because you clearly are only interested in sending other people CP and government secrets.

The worst part is that in the US, file sharing actually increases the sales of whatever the product is, except for porn and music cds.  It is great advertisement, and more often than not, people who share files are sharing things that they would never have bought in the first place.

Noooo! One of my download sources, dead!

but but obama would never strip more of our freedoms!!

ahahahaha

Congress did this.  Not Obama.  Obama actually threatened to veto it.

Seriously GS, what is your problem?  Do you have any criticisms against Obama that are things he's actually done?  Or is there an Obama impersonator out doing these horrible things?

You can complain about the naivety, irrationality, and lack of common sense intrinsic to Democrats, but, unless you're willing to act better than the people you imagine (since your complaints are all about things that can't happen, like the president making laws) Democrats to be, don't talk.

oh darnit PGF, I was joking. I was just poking fun at the people who called obama the second coming of jesus in the form of a president. He has to cave to lobbyists and an incompetent, divided
congress as much as any other prez.
The only thing he has done that pissed me off is sign the ndaa.

Dude, nobody thought he was the second coming of Black Jesus, but I personally know people who thought W was...
*looks around quickly*
*whispers*
the one.  You know dot dot dot question mark.

Seriously.  They thought Dubya was the second coming of Christ.  Seriously.

Some people are nuts. News at 11.

HE'S CLEARLY THE ANTICHRIST!!!!!!

Clearly.
