World War III is upon us.

Though it's not as you'd imagine.

According to this, America by law apparently has jurisdiction on every .com's (and .net's, .org's etc) site on the internet.

Not only that but the Department of Defense has recently just invested 1/2 trillion dollars into this. (Nice to see where you're tax dollars are going to America.)

With sites like megaupload and fileserve, btunkie and the like getting taken down in recent times, the new dawn is upon us ladies and gentlemen. World War III, as unconventional as it is

The US vs The World Wide Web.

Nyaatorrents and Fakku might be next.

AMERICA WORLD POLICE YEAH. (Go fuck yourselves)

So , the internet isnt free anymore with super-cops cutting down everything. I understand that. The internet cops works with preverted cops in chat rooms looking for men/boys looking for kids to touch. To destroy web sites that practice free-speech is beyond wrong to limit free imfromation. This is due , to the patriot ACT to protect ourselves from super-crazies but this has also targeted peaceful people who have no idea whats going on. In the minds of super-cops everybody can or could be EVIL and gets their 10 minutes of questioning. Our future will be -- GHOST IN THE SHELL -- watch the t.v. show or buy some DVD's and you shall see the truth.

Its just a matter of time before someone tries to use this precedent in copyright infringement proceedings. Aren't the big pirating sites already with some non US based top level domain? Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like in the case of bodog, they could have switched to "bodog.cc" and they wouldn't have been taken down using this method. I don't know about the details (cost, ease, etc) of going from ".com" to ".cc" or anything else but I don't see this being too big of a deal for the end-user. They will just type something other than ".com" and still get what they want.

Sssh! The internet police could be watching you right now! Quick! Make a break for it, I'll stall them as long as I can!

And my face hits the wall.

Why is it so hard for the United States to respect the flow of information?

Coming from a country that emphasizes freedom between people and a historical opponent of Communism, I find it amazing that the US has such a stance against the info flow on the internet.

This is nothing new. It's always been like this. The government is looking for ways to steadily control the population, while keeping everyone else ignorant. Most people in the US don't realize how much the US Government is destroying it's own Constitution in the name of "Protecting its Citizens". Protecting my ass. If they really wanted to protect us, they would educate us. They would make our National Security better.

And to think, this all started because of 9/11. Throwing American's attention to terrorism in the Middle East, while making them blind to the real threat growing in America's soil. Reminds me of the books Ayn Rand and George Orwell wrote. Big Brother is taking hold. We have to act to stop it now, or it will just cover us, and then there's nothing we can do anymore. America is turning into the very thing it was fighting against in both World Wars. Tyranny, fascism, and communism.

What the fuck does America want?
Seriously.
World domination? Money? Fuck off!
And Australia most likely would be following its footsteps (since we look up to America).

Ominous title.

The government seeks to control anything they don't readily understand. From the, now lawfully binding, video and film rating systems, to banning books from public school. The only "news" here is that they can effect foreign based sites.

I'm also mystified as to why they didn't opt for .cc or .ca, but all I can worry about now is my dwindling hopes for the Canadian Expatriate program.

This better be a bunch of overreacting, otherwise I'm going to cut someone's head off if Fakku goes down.

Took the words from mine mouth...

That would be disastrous...


On topic: Personally I think the world would be better off without America. But eh, I myself wanna go there one day. I hear so much about it after all, too bad the government is rent for power.

For a long while, i myself believed that WWIII would be waged via cyber warfare. This year, ive noticed alot of things that have triggered flags. Things like SOPA and PIPA. America removing postal worker jobs, etc. When one wishes to take over a country, what do they first do? Sever its ways of communication. America is slowly doing just that. I hear more postal jobs are going to be cut soon. It will be interesting to see how the rest if this year plays out. Personalky, im hopeing for world-wide anarchy.

Correct me if i'm wrong didn't this kind of act by the goverment has just violate the the very basis of our country law where everyone has the right to do what they want to do?

Peace is temporary, war is eternal .. it's just waiting several decades for the next opportunity, fed by inequity and the infinite greed of the less. America with the biggest military, the most atomic-weapons has the best cards, using them to repress and conquer. China is not sleeping anymore, struggling with them will be sooner or later inevitable.

> I am damn lucky to be in Europe.

Cyberwar is the beginning though we all know how the "shit" will be "flipped" - like always, by brute force heavily supported by gun-power. (Atomic-Weapons will be the last resort I'd daresay, sure not for the desperate countries).

> Just hope for the best, whatever that may be.

(investing in "countermeasures" is one thing .. insanely boosting
military strength, the clear sign to use it sooner or later)

Unfortunately the United States seem to have a lot of influence over a good number of ''powerful'' countries... Countries like Canada are already more and more USA look alikes, and it already feels like we're working more in their interests than ours. My prediction? It won't just be the USA. It'll be an alliance of "rightful countries " controlled by them. Anonymousity is evil is gonna be their next motto. Hell, it already is.

The secrets you all believed were never a secret to begin with.

They did not hide this from us, but we rather ignored their behavior.

Their actions were so obvious and they fooled us to believe their lies.
(Yes I admit I was fooled as well.)

The problem is with the world, is that we didn't take the time to understand their system and how they performed it. Nobody said we were not allowed to learn it, but we got distracted by our selfish desires of living the life.

If WW3 was a cyber warfare, then it is just an attack on communication, that is all.
That way the global citizens wouldn't pay much attention to what is happening around the world. I think it is worthless trying to have a cyber warfare now since the world already knows what the US is up to.

This is NOT a conspiracy theory but hard facts.

If the people knew how the system worked, there would be a massive and explosive riot against the world government. Trust me, I know.

So if you guys started to pay attention now, then I suggest you start researching the system and how it works, and all the "Possible" conspiracy theories and how the dots are all connected.

This was said a long time ago.

But I will not assume anything here since I want to avoid any spark with other users.

That's the problem with the web... since America mostly founded it, they made it rather US-centric.

Wanna seem legit? You get a .com; everyone else? You're a .co and country code.

It's a weird system but way too ingrained to change now, but basing legal matters around a page extension instead of where the page/site's owners actually live is tricky stuff...

If large enough entities started moving to their own codes, then we could see the change.

But the monopoly on such generic addendum is disturbing. This actually sounds like something that should be brought to the Free Internet Act.

Not entirely true, We look up to the uk, as our/ their queen is there.. so we pretty much have to follow suite. They look up to america afaik.

Everyone, change your website address to .se :)
