SzOPAcs

So someone watches a pirated DVD on a Sony player - do they ban Sony from selling DVD players?

Thought not.

Government launches the four-lettered idea, people say no. Three letters will do fine, Ol' Gov. realizes, enter the Eph Bee Eye.

Megaupload is dead, hotfile is a coward, and the folks at Anonymous are having a ball trolling on the bureau's website. From our POV, this is a good comedy. As long as torrenting is available, there's no real risk of a worldwide change.

Well, to be fair, torrents aren't an option for me. The library, which provides my access to the Internet, takes his filtering and censoring business quite seriously. No warez sites, no torrent, no porn or pages with edgy content, like bloody-disgusting.com (after all, "bloody" is a strong swearword around here, right?) Unfortunately, all the online proxies I've found are ruled out, too.

Still, these British guys constantly give me suspicious looks, every time I show up with an mp4 player or a USB cable around my neck. That paradoxical "chilled Heat"-gaze of Robert De Niro is what I think about while staring back at them.

You. Can. Not. Bother. Me.
