It's just going to backfire so badly on the record companies, people won't be buying thier over priced CD's and will just go back to burning everything, for a country that is hell bent on being about freedom for it's people, this is the sheer opposite of that, artists that offer thier music for free are getting hit with this bullshit, same with all of the blogs that have permisson to share music.bbatson1 wrote:update.. it's a wrap. You can't download shit. Especially movies and tv shows. How the fuck can America just shut shit down everywhere with no trial, no anything. More importantly how the fuck am i going to get movies?

My questions are, yes why no trials? and why not go after the torrents first?, these are the ones that are putting up huge movie and TV files, is this not just about labels like Sony etc and the multi millionaire movue companies?
Fuck the FBI and the fat record execs who need more coke money, while pushing thier wack "music"...this is so topical after the SOPA shit, maybe this was planned all along?.
But lastly, why now?...filesharing sites have been around for years...will they be able to shutdown Soulseek?
As far as other ones will pop up, yes they will...but they will be watched and probably taken down as soon as they go up.
R.I.P. Filesharing and freedom to do what you want on the net.
