    Let Anonymous loose on the revenue website for a few hours and they won't be long about giving up on the idea.

    SOPA will mean an end to all of your free music downloads, torrents etc. that all of your iPods are filled with. It mustn't go through

    What would SOPA mean for newsgroups ? most of these use heavy encryption,
    so it's hard to prove copyright infringement ...

    I'm disgusted with Kenny and the rest of that sorry excuse for government that we now have. What makes it worse is that I voted for them in the misguided assumption that nothing could be worse than the last lot. :-(

    But will this affect the likes of newsgroup sites ? where all traffic is heavily encrypted anyway ?

    If it's on the internet, it's affected. Encryption is irrelevant. The burden of prove is on the defendant, not the prosecutor.

    Also, don't be such a sponger of copyright material.
