Innocent Accused	The Fat Controller wrote: I'm confused now guys. Are we on the side of the Internet or not? The slippery slope in my view if the powers that be decide what it is we should be doing online. Many many people used megaupload which was one of the few sites enabling users fast download times free of charge. I know piracy is illegal, but is the line going to be drawn before or after those profiteering from piracy? The internet is being treated as some little country without a dictatorship...the most powerful state on earth wants it! Hard one to call FC,Mega were deep into piracy,but also freedom of expression is worth the cost.

The world seems to be in the thrall of Google, the Zuckerberg creep and every other carpetbagger who has claimed the net and perpetuate the fantasy that it's all about freedom, democracy and the right to free speech. Google is a rapacious US corporation intent upon imposing US laws on the world and thankfully countries like India, Italy and France are fighting back. My knuckles are rapped. You know more than I do Veritas. Perhaps I should consider switching search engines.
