Just on this matter of SOPA. This proposed law in USA has not even been properly debated in their Houses let alone enacted and yet the founder of Megadownloads was arrested *in* *New* *Zealand* as a result of SOPA as far as I can ascertain.
No. They did *not* need SOPA to arrest Kimble since he is a well known criminal, betraying people since over 10 years. Current law was absolutely good enough to get him. That's actually a proof that SOPA is not necessary.
OK, be as it may, I did receive just a short time ago a message with this URL and with the Subject heading of, "Feds Shut Down Website Without Due Process": http://visiontoamerica.org/7372/feds-shut-down-website-without-due-process/ suggesting that even with a law in place no due process was used to close down and arrest someone *IN* *A* *FOREIGN* *COUNTRY*.
