I figure this site would take a good hit from it too, along with youtube, reddit, google, imgur and many other sites.. I'm glad I don't have to use tor to browse xD

Woo :D
Honestly sure, get rid of illegal content but don't take away things that are not illegal/have not caused anyone problems but instead help us.

They need to figure the plan out before they act.

right? The reason it got so far is because all of the government dudes are 100 years old..

piracy is one thing, illegal stuff sure get rid of it? the tor network and everything will be around, people will still pirate, but it will be far less mainstream.. but closing down entire sites that have zero to do with piracy is ridiculous, just because users post something that may have a copyright somewhere by someone.. that makes the entire site bad?

pathetic, really
