to the MPAA and congress about SOPA: seriously?

So, let me see if I remember my recent history:

RIAA got all uppity about Napster. sued to have it shut down. When this happened, 3 new similar programs came around (Kazaa, Morpheus, WinMX). about this time, Bittorrent started taking shape. After the big filesharing programs were shut down, Bittorrent was going strong. Now, they want to filter out and have the authority to shut down file servers that are not located in the US, and are outside their jurisdiction.

You would think that the MPAA would realize that doing this shit is really really stupid. IF they would just suck it the fuck up, and actually provide methods to allow their content to be streamed (instead of giving a finger to the likes of netflix and hulu), they might actually see something in return.

I use bittorrent to get movies that are NOT on any legal streaming services. same with tv series/episodes. I do this because there IS NO VIABLE ALTERNATIVE YET.

To the MPAA, and the politicians they are paying off: FUCK YOU.
