And so the battle begins. With or without legislation.

Once again the US is policing the entire planet.

Fortunately I haven't had an account with any of the file sharing sites for years now. I saw this coming. Not that I ever used them to download copyrighted material. They were great for sharing family home videos with friends. Christmas videos and stuff. Things like that. Yep.

Along these lines, I still find it interesting that every year right before the Superbowl is when suddenly the Government decides to get involved in sports streaming sites. Funny how that works, huh?
