Americans face piracy website blocking
 

"Websites that link to pirated music and movies or sell counterfeit goods could soon be blocked in America."

WTF? What next sites like infowars.net that don't agree with the government?

So much for the land of the free.

Good thing we have things like tor, nifty firefox extensions like:
MAFIAAFire.com - http://www.mafiaafire.com/

and JonDoFox – anonymous and secure web surfing - http://anonymous-proxy-servers.net/en/jondofox.html

I wonder if they will block file sharing sites as well.

I doubt they will block infowars (because it's probably run by the CIA), but certainly this is just a reason and legislation for more censorship.

We are the "land of the free" only so long as we have just laws. If a law is unjust strive to change it.

Just a small note. Although I don't really think the MAFIAAfire people are going to do anything fishy, I don't completely trust them for essentially acting as a dns redundancy. There's a rewrite of their add-on here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fireice/ that has the alternative ips hardcoded. And there's something potentially creepy.

Other than that, well said.
