Default Feds crack down on the interwebs...

Several 'streaming' sites shut down...

Quote:
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.

Well, if these sites were in violation of the law or regulations, this is a good thing.

That probably why they don't allow pirate site discussion here.
