I wonder how soon it will be when they are raiding bars arresting cover bands

same group tried to take out power-tabs, and managed... for a few months. I think they just moved their servers to a place with some lax copyright laws :cool:

The next step is to lobby congress to filter the Internet from the evil influences of foreign server content.  Internet censoring is coming my friends, it's only a matter of time.

Sad times.
Do not attribute to malice what can be easily explained by incompetence, fear, ignorance or stupidity, because there are millions more garden variety idiots walking around in the world than there are blackhearted Machiavellis.

So true, they got a poker bill going now. It's our only hope that Bush is an online gambler and allows us to make our own decisions.

To the moderators:

Yeah, i did step over the line a bit there, and im sorry.

Still, would have been nice if you hadn't edited out my entire post, and just the parts where I stepped over telling what the sleaze balls can go do.  I at least kept the language clean, and no part of it was pronographic.  Im sorry if you found it offensive, but then again if everything offensive were banned to save someone's sensibilities we'd all just be grunting at each other.

please, if you want to cut something that offends you, at least take an extra half second to leave the rest in there.
