John G. Malcolm, deputy assistant attorney general in the criminal division of the U.S. Department of Justice, did say there seems to be some connection between illegal copying and organized crime, in that many of the groups profiting from illegal copies are highly organized and can have international distribution networks. Organized crime often supports terrorism, he suggested.
"These groups will not hesitate to threaten or injure those who tend to interfere with their operations," Malcolm said.

Actually I think he has disappeared, which most likely means they have him locked up already.

Rumor circulating is that Xanupox was being played by Bin Laden when the ninja lootings took place. Bin Laden's little brother is the one who trained CoE in Seru.

This problem can be settled, if we all agree to stop driving our cars, stop doing drugs, stop breaking any "imoral law" like the illigalness of oral sex in florida, becouse if you have oral sex your breaking the american law, like terrorist do so you support them. We should also bomb all mosques in our country and make owning the quiran (sp) illigal in the us, that way after we bomb all the mosques and burn all the quirans we can kill everyone thats pissed off becouse they might be terrorist.
Be an american, support your country!!

So that's why he had gnomish fireworks strapped to his chest.
Fortunately they failed to go off.

ISONEWS was taken about 2-3 weeks ago. At least, that's when the news sites started talking about it.
*edit* Actually found one of the stories I was referring to
here.

the funny part is that they closed the site down because he was running banner ads for mod chips for ps2 and xbox.
the us government is trying to control the internet a lot more lately. I guess they are taking down IPs of people who hit the domains they confiscate and watching where they surf as well.. pretty fucking scary imo.

If a website is selling illegal materials, they have every right to shut it down. I really don't see why that would be an issue.
As for file sharing supporting terrorism, that's a pretty big frickin leap. Sounds like a combination of stupidity and paranoia on the government's part, and bandwagoning on the entertainment industry's.

mod chips aren't really illegal in any technical way I've ever heard of.

i dont see why mod chips are illegal, crimes are drawn out on paper, should we outlaw paper now?

Paper should definitely be outlawed! If there was no paper, those sandniggers wouldn't have had flight manuals for the jets, and 9/11 would never have happened!!!!!1!!1!!
On topic, I'm SO shocked to find the gubmint in bed with the RIAA regarding file sharing!
