U.S. Government Anti-Piracy Crackdown

Innocent Bloggers Become Collateral Damage

In breaking News this week TorrentFreak delivers a detailed article about the escalating U.S. global crackdown on websites that break International Laws regarding pirated films, TV, and music. This ongoing policy apparently makes clear legal sense to Those-in-Power, which is; if a host has any pirated material, then the entire domain should be taken offline. In the article you learn how several websites that had vast numbers of WordPress blogs alongside streaming TV shows got whacked as a whole.

Some of the online chatter speaks to the disbelief, that the hoped-to-be "Kinder, Gentler" Obama Administration (specifically VP Joseph Biden) has now made it's mission to free the Internet of all pirated content... with a very blunt instrument. Sending a message to those that dare, and those that sit next to those that dare... you're all going down. To my blogging brothers and sisters who have become collateral damage in this mess, my heart goes out, as I contemplate someone torching my collective works! Time for a backup!
