Re: digg.com = pwned

Basically what the big fuss about all of this was that its about the US government putting regulations on information on the internet, Censorship, and the control of information that should be public. It gives rights to the MPAA and RIAA to censor websites from disclosing information submitted by a person. The US Government does not own the Internet and never will, it is owned by the people and will always be owned by the people. This has a huge impact on what we all do on a daily basis. Its bad enough that the mass media censors to get public approval for government actions, if we let the government take our last form of unregulated information we will become slaves to what we read. If the government gives rights to the MPAA and RIAA to give out cease and desist orders to websites, who’s next? Giving another organization to give out cease and desist orders for talking bad about the war and government? That’s what we call communism.
What would happen to 'Style if all of the sudden certain items that talk about George Bush suddenly disappeared because the governement allowed the republican party to censor certain items that could prove he went into this war for oil instead of the search for WMDs?
