cryptome.org was taken down, turned off, made to disappear completely.  Microsoft asked the hosting company to do it.  The whole site.  No judge was involved, no subpoena, no contacting the site's owner, no nothing.

Free speech is on it's death bed... but nobody really cares.  Just a few people who are laughed at as &quot;conspiracy theorists&quot; when they tell people how a proposed law will be abused because this kind of shit happens time and time again no matter the country or language.  What happened here is an outrage but it is too late for outrage because it's the law now.

I guess this is what needs to happen though.  Americans have become fat, stupid, and lazy and the only way to fix it will be to let everything go to hell.  I used to openly care/cry/bitch about this stuff a lot more than I do now... the only thing I ever really got out of that was fewer friends and nausea.
