U.S. Authorities Shut Down WordPress Host With 73,000 Blogs
73,000+ blogs have been completely shut down over a mere seven targeted sites. Clearly, this is so that they can claim a huge number in their crackdown propaganda.
U.S. Authorities Shut Down WordPress Host With 73,000 Blogs by enigmax July 16, 2010 http://torrentfreak.com/u-s-authorities-...gs-100716/ After the U.S. Government took action against several sites connected to movie streaming recently, nerves are jangling over the possibility that this is just the beginning of a wider crackdown. Now it appears that a free blogging platform has been taken down by its hosting provider on orders from the U.S. authorities on grounds of “a history of abuse”. More than 73,000 blogs are out of action as a result. Hot on the heels of recent threats from Vice President Joe Biden and Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator Victoria Espinel directed at sites offering unauthorized movies and music, last month U.S. authorities targeted several sites they claimed were connected to the streaming of infringing video material. ‘Operation In Our Sites‘ targeted several sites including TVShack.net, Movies-Links.TV, FilesPump.com, Now-Movies.com, PlanetMoviez.com, ThePirateCity.org, ZML.com, NinjaVideo.net and NinjaThis.net. In almost unprecedented action, the domain names of 7 sites were seized and indications are that others – The Pirate Bay and MegaUpload – narrowly avoided the same fate. Fears remain, however, that this action is only the beginning, and that more sites will be targeted as the months roll on. Indeed, TorrentFreak has already received information that other sites, so far unnamed in the media, are being monitored by the authorities on copyright grounds. Now, according to the owner of a free WordPress platform which hosts more than 73,000 blogs, his network of sites has been completely shut down on the orders of the authorities.

This is about so much more than movies... Wordpress blogs have all kinds of dissident voices that expose conspiracy and corruption on a regular basis.

Censorship Bomb via Copyright Law: U.S. Shut Down WordPress Host With 73,000 Blogs
Quote:U.S. Authorities Shut Down WordPress Host With 73,000 Blogshttp://digg.com/politics/U_S_Authorities..._000_Blogs http://torrentfreak.com/u-s-authorities-...gs-100716/ This is one of the first casualties of mass blog censorship by way of copyright claims. Hey .. by this logic they should shut Google down. Although a massive amount of these are certainly participants in file sharing, this shut down 1000s of legitimate alternative news blogs. A search for Obama turned up over 1300 hits, 1200+ mentioning politics, 4200 talk about police and almost 2000 pages containing the term FBI. In an ironic twist I got over 4000 page hits with the term censor.

They're just trying to confuse us and muddy the waters with all this crap, infowars.com included.
Facts: * 200,000 of Rapidshare / MegaUpload links to files were up on the site, the file content is unknown * 50,000 - 100,000 of politically charged and critical articles were up there as well, all authored and commented on by bloggers * In about 5 minutes the worst offenders were certain users that could have been taken down individually[1] * No trace of the "Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom" article remains, search for "inspire" and you get lots of inspirational content * According to Alexa and Google trends they were gaining traffic steady since 2008 and were in the top 8,000 websites for visits * Not too many torrent links, less than 1000 [1]: megauploadmusic.blogetery.com goodlink.blogetery.com megalink.blogetery.com freemp3.blogetery.com rapidsharelisting.blogetery.com mydownloader.blogetery.com mp3downloader.blogetery rapidshareposts.blogetery.com freefromrapidshare.blogetery.com freefrommegaupload.blogetery.com freemovie.blogetery.com megauploadmusic.blogetery hotlinks.blogetery I haven't heard the admission of failure to comply with take down notices for constantly infringing sites and if they didn't BurstNet wasn't hosting anything on their servers. Simply they're seeing what they can get away with and warming people up to CYBERCOM and ACTA and threatening sites like isohunt, mininova (RIP) and TPB.

When most of the filesharing sites are gone, next they will start to remove copyrighted text articles, pictures, sounds and movie clips be sure of that. Its not even going to be needed to close down dissenting blogs for what they say when the truth i essance can be erased by making it illegal to host any information thats copyrighted. Only those with big bank accounts and political influence will be able to have their say in our coming dystopian future. Others will have to sacrifice an arm and a leg to be able to publish anything that can compete with even the simplest news reports.
We need a Galileo of genetics to stand up to the Church of Equality and tell them the earth is not flat. -Unknown Commenter |

Copyright infringement, I prefer the term sharing, presents all sorts of constriction of information and red tape. Abolishment / Filtering / Legal Actions against sites is throwing a blockade into the transfer of information across the board. Sweeping shutdowns such as taking down an entire blog server, phasing out an entire protocol and redefining fair use on a whim is simply unjust.
It's not even enforced fairly. Take Google Books creating a monopoly on digital out of print books for example: ARL, ALA, and ACRL Write Letter in Regard to the Updated Google Book Search Settlement (Dec. 15, '09) http://www.arl.org/bm~doc/antitrustdivasa-final.pdf There are no others, there is only us. http://FastTadpole.com/ |

Even if the grid goes down, dissent has been expressed. When there have been glitches here, I wonder how I'll get the information I've posted back, but dissent has passed through the written word in pamphlet form since Martin Luther and the reformation. Printing presses don't require electricity.
As the days move on, and I get a better and better feel for what's going on, I find my senses are more acute when those around me want to enslave me - I get a twinge of paranoia then calmly survey my surroundings. Often, on a public thoroughfare, I'll find that LEO's are no more than two minutes distance from me. When I don't see anyone, I trust my instincts and keep shit mellow. I may sound paranoid to many here, but it's kept me safe. None the less, I can't wait 'til the newspapers are dead and gone, and the spontaneous printed word, distributed hand-to-hand regains its exclusivity as a source of truthful information. The slant will be as easy to see as the truth, and fundamental rifts won't be possible separating those who feel the truth from one another. Talking points memos will be only that, with no talking head spoon-feeding them to us. degradation and poverty will rein in our future, that much is assured, but who's to say this mass of those yearning to be free won't have set up enough networks to make the suffering worthwhile? I'm not speaking of NWO victory here, I'm speaking of an iinsurgence of intelligence - you know, the kind that overpowers market models and business forcasts - the type that has a chance. CREAM... but the cash is paper, and all the suburbanites are figuring that out. ...tha dolla dolla Bilked y'all... The CACHE will Rule Everything Around Me. (To those who don't know, now you know - C.R.E.A.M. = Cash Rules Everything Around Me - Comes from an album that's to be performed in its entirety at the Rock the Bells tour... Which I won't be attending...)
