Which is why they don't but you know there are too many adults who are just as sheltered as children because they're brain dead pencil pushers who would sooner worry about the size of their dick than the state of the world.

You honestly think there's some sort of enlightenment that happens at age 18 where the person just wakes up and suddenly has perspective? No not a chance. 90% of the people in this society have no perspective on anything including me and you and everyone else so really it's a moot point. It's like looking at one specific pile of shit in a pile of piles of shit and saying that's the only pile of shit that doesn't count.

But because politicians give credence to a bunch of children protesting on their Facebook pages, you then have people who don't know what the fuck it means to run a government or society or even how to flip a fucking hamburger pattie attempting to affect legislation.

lol are you serious. Politicians don't give a flying sexual intercourse about what 14 year old kids on facebook with anti-SOPA profile pictures think. Not one bit. It was the big name website owners like Google and Wikipedia who made the difference.

For instance, children bitching about a site where stolen things are routinely shared being taken down should be ignored and dismissed and utterly forgotten as their position is completely irrelevant.
Hopefully the next sites to be taken down will be rapid share and media fire, etc. Defend creator rights. Rapists, thieves and child pornographers can have their day in court.

Honestly I don't give a shit that megaupload is gone either. Good riddance but really that's just my opinion and you know the point that people have been raising about precedents and the real-world implications of the case are legitimate points to make. Dismissing them entire shows that it's you who is the one without perspective.

Wow I think that's the longest post I've ever made holy shit what a waste of 15 minutes.

I can't see where NG is going to get hit by this. They've always been good about being on the right side of copyright and all that good stuff.

Whats stealing stuff got to do with anything? Megaupload is a completely legit site with no more stealing that other similar sites. The FBI are trying to take it down but they were ging to wait for SOPA first, but after that failed they went through with it anyway. This is the kind of stuff they would have been doing, taking down legit sites for the littlest of reasons. Even a 10 year old can see whats happening, which is why people are taking action against it. Seems like you are just complaining about a problem that doesnt even exist. You seriously need to grow up and consider that things may not be as you think they are instead of acting like you know everything.

Unless you are a troll of course, which seems likely after all the ad hominem insults.

Looks like many other file sharing sites are going down as well. Including "Mediafire" that I believe someone mentioned earlier in the thread.
