re: #331 Slumbering Behemoth

Maybe, maybe not. I am not as savvy on the tech as some folks here. Is P.Bay still operating?

Pirate Bay is a perfect example. You could shut it down, and it won’t change a damn thing, because what they do is simply impossible to stop without destroying the internet. It can’t be done on an open distributed network, period. Not even theoretically possible.

Agreed. I still think Assange and crew are “accessories after the fact” skuzballs, though.

That’s a separate issue. As far as I am concerned, the bizarre media and government focus on Assange rather than shitty security here in the US is alarming. It signals that this will be used as a justification of things to come which I will not like. It signals a lack of understanding of what happened. It’s a major red flag.
