Very unpleasant stuff.  Part of the problem is that neither party is really in the right.

How is the opposition not in the right light? Take Google- they seek to uphold Silicon Valley and all its goals (freedom of speech on the internet, net neutrality, ect.) and to stop piracy- but not sacrifice any of the aforementioned. Their willing to take OPEN as a starting point, as many else are. The question is, will the stubborn pro-SOPA/PIPA corporations and persons come and meet them at the table.

No, I agree, SOPA needs to be stopped.  What I'm referring to is the arrest of Megaupload.com's founder and Anonymous' response to it.

Yeah, I was thinking you meant that after I posted. And yes, probably not the best response. Annoymous's actions are always controversial.

Wow. The FBI shut down the file-sharing site Megaupload.com, and arrested its founder this morning.
Wow. I think my dad uses Megaupload or something.
I don't think anyone has a right to butcher the Internet. No country has the right to do that. I wish I could do something, but I can't. :'( My mum says there are evil things on the internet that need to be done away with, but I'm not willing to give up internet freedom just so those sites can be shut down.

The parable of the wheat and tares. The tares (the bad stuff) was allowed to grow with the wheat (the good stuff) until it was time to harvest, at which time the tares were separated from the wheat, and burned.

Basically, you can't remove the bad stuff from the internet with hurting the good stuff.

I thought that was apparent from what I said. Was I unclear?
