The fact that uscitizen insists on exclusively blaming the right for this further proves my assertion that uscitizen is a partisan hack.
true story
While I too wonder that Homeland Security is involved in shutting down these illegal pirated content providers, I applaude that they were shut down.
I also question why the Coast Guard is now a department in that organization.
If there is a bright spot in all this, the folks outside of government are waaaaaayyy smarter than the iron fisted trolls in government service.
New ways will be found to communicate information. Software/entertainment pirates are easy targets, because they are not particularly sympathetic scoundrels. Now the door is open, the method in place. Who or what is the next internet target of state control?
Net neutrality anyone? Its The Office of Handicapper General for the computer age.
State reach and control never recede until the state collapses.
How much are you willing to accept before you too are named an outlaw?
When it comes to the creation of HSA, the DEMS were way onboard with it.
So trying to fault JUST the Republicans for that is partisan nonsense.
And one cannot help but wonder how such a huge bill, one so complex and involving so many departments in the government, could have been designed and written so quickly after 911.
There's some who believe, and I think I do too, although I am open to hearing other theories to explain it, that the HSA bill was pre-written and that some elements of the government were just WAITING for an opportunity (like the hysteria post 911) to get this HSA police state-like administrative tool rammed though Congress.
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."When it comes to the creation of HSA, the DEMS were way onboard with it.

Yep, the fear driven mania in post 911 was being fanned ver well by our pundits and government. I thought it strange at the time that our govt was working to make us more fearful as opposed to reassuring us.
And I also feel that it was an opportunistic event.
However I blame republicans most because they led the way and are supposedly against more govt control and bigger government. Unlike the dems which seem to like bigger more controlling govt.

Homeland Security seizes domain names
By Sara Jerome - 11/26/10 04:25 PM ET
The investigative arm of the Homeland Security Department appears to be shutting down websites that facilitate copyright infringement.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has seized dozens of domain names over the past few days, according to TorrentFreak.
ICE appears to be targeting sites that help Internet users download copyrighted music, as well as sites that sell bootleg goods, such as fake designer handbags.
The sites are replaced with a note from the government: "This domain named has been seized by ICE, Homeland Security Investigations."
For instance, borntrade.com, 51607.com, and amoyhy.com have each been seized.
One of the site owners told TorrentFreak that his site was shut down without any notice or warning.

I told you spuuorters of Homeland Security back when that this would happen.
The reply then from the right was "If you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear".
I do not have any real proplem with sutting down sites engaging in illegal activity. However this is not a Homeland Security issue.
Ot was not before the bush admin streamlined things and combined agencies.
LMAO at fools.
Notice who was in office when these powers were created?
