Look at the fastest shutter legislators pirate sites

A group �of Senators in the US are apparently tired of all these dirty, rotten pirate sites flaunting their copyright infringing ways.

The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act would, if passed, allow the Justice Department to close down sites found to be sharing illegal content more quickly, regardless of whether the owner is located inside or outside the US.�The RIAA and MPAA have been working hard to get ISPs to cut off customers accused of pirating content, but this bill could make that effort moot. Could the new legislation mean ISPs would have to block infringing websites? How would a site's status be determined? It is also unclear if US-based site owners would have a chance to dispute their designation. So many questions; hopefully we'll get some solid answers before things move forward. How does this proposed legislation strike you?

ACLU We oppose making the Constitution optional

Four U.S.

Senators are pursuing legislation they believe would fix the "mistake" President Obama made with the man who allegedly failed to blow up a Christmas Day flight into Detroit. That "mistake" was treating him like a serious criminal, tossing him in jail and planning a trial.
