I'm not convinced that means much anymore. Don't forget the U.S. has used 9-11 to do a lot of things...hell, they took a ton of our rights away as citizens. Last I heard they are now able to even get into Swiss Bank Accounts.
I feel pretty sure that IF they want somebody and want to take them down they can do it. Especially little pissant pirates. Too much money is being lost by too many powerful companies out there in this world.
My guess is that unless you're in China or North Korea (lol), they can get you if they want to. And there is always the fact that one way or another you're gonna have to register a domain.
If these clowns keep this b.s. up, that will soon become as fucked up a process as opening a new business account at a bank is. They are going to start demanding all kinds of info and identification.
And just like the porn tubes are going to eventually bring down harsh new laws on porn against us all...the dumb fucks who think they are "clever" by registering a new domain and continuing to thumb their noses at the govt are going to bring in new bullshit for domain registration.
Just wait until they force all "private" registration to be public AND start requiring everyone to have a place that they can come in and "inspect" to make sure you are "real". You know, just like they already demand that we have a place that operates during business hours for 2257 "inspection". And then make us put the goddamn address where the 2257 is kept right on the website so that any psycho can find it.
Wait until you have to post the address of the person who the domain is registered to ON the website.
That's the kind of shit that can happen when you fuck around with the damn govt. The govt. will just keep making laws to empower themselves.
Just my opinion. As I said before...I'm old school and believe in staying OFF the govt. radar. And if I thought for one second that moving to some other country would allow me to do whatever I want and not worry about it...I would.
But I don't believe that. I believe that a lot of guys out there who THINK they are getting away with shit...are actually under investigation and evidence is just being gathered. And when the govt. is ready and thinks they have enough to bury them...they will.
