SOPA begins...1,2,3, retaliation

  As millions of people protest the SOPA and PIPA laws, Lamar Smith, who has taken numerous dollars from the motion picture industry and who was guilty himself of committing copyright infringement, refuses to withdraw the bill. 
  Republican presidential candidates are lining up to reject it, as Obama has vowed also. At least for now. 
  But the hacker group Anonymous last night took down a number of websites after the government shut down a peer sharing website called megaupload.
  Websites taken down by Anonymous include the RIAA, DOJ, MPA, EMI, the FBI and Universal.
  I'm thinkin' this wasn't such a good fight to pick.Woe to be Lamar Smith.
  How do these people honestly think they're going to shut down offshore websites. In addition, seriously, these digital immigrants need to learn that the digital natives do NOT see things the way they do. 
  As of this writing, it appears that many of the links that describe the Anonymous activities are also *inexplicably* down.

  This is scary stuff and an ominous foretelling of the future.
