As much as I detest anyone taking down sites, be it the government or hackers or anyone(seriously. Nobody has that right, I don't care if it's retaliation or "deserved"), I do think there's a kind of sweet irony to the whole situation.

Basically, I cannot wait to see what's gonna come out of this when the dust settles. It's been a very, very interesting couple of days. I mean, seriously, all this stuff just happens to come up together at the same time? I think not. I'm very interested to see how it will play out (hopefully in our favor!).

the world: hey man we've got some really serious problems like global warming and mass economic failure and riots and genocide and aids and cancer and your healthcare system is shit so maybe we should get to work
us government: sit down i have to stop people from sharing things online

In unrelated news, my computer will not connect to the internet for the life of it(which I know, because I threatened it's life). Which means I can't work on the project DUE TOMORROW. ACH. I JUST. CANNOT. FREAKING OUT OVER HERE. I'm currently on Mum's lappy, but it can't do half the things my computer is all tricked out for, and I'm not-so-quitely crying about it. So much to do, and my time is dwindling faster than I'd ever like.

The world's falling apart, but by dammit, you won't be listening to free music or watching free TV or movies while it does! Pfft. Priorities, Government - GET SOME.

IKR? Money, money, money, honey.

I have mixed feelings about this one. But generally, I think it's a bad idea. *sigh* I think they are not really helping our cause by saying 'oh, look at all the trouble we might be able to cause you.' Sorry, I'm tired. Logical words are not exactly my friend. But point.

I did see a video, though, about the major supporters of SOPA being the same companies originally creating, distributing, and promoting the software used for copyright infringement. And I lean more towards making those kind of facts known for making a point. But by now, I'm mostly just rambling.

But mostly, I find it all a bit ridiculous. There are definitely more important things to be concerned with. It sucks that money rules the world.

Maybe I should call it a night.

Yeah, that's another big problem I have with this retaliatory stuff. It's petty and tends to validate the theories that we're wild and need regulating.

I totally agree with you <3 And I'm glad you stopped by to leave your thoughts! Even if it is time to go to sleep. *smooshes*
