I love how the article ends, 'Although the above is interesting, as the House is the place where lawmakers are currently trying to push though SOPA, this revelation might actually help their cause. If even people at the House are “stealing” content, we really need SOPA to counter it, they may say
The question is though, whether SOPA will be able to break the habits of millions of Americans, as there will always be alternatives available. And even if it manages to put a dent in the current piracy rates, is that really worth it considering the potential damage SOPA can do to the open Internet and legal businesses?'
Their article is link bait with one arguably substantive paragraph at the end.
- gasull 15y agoYes, but interesting anyway. The title of the article should be "What the US House bittorrents the most"
- atomical 15y agoWhich is actually even more misleading. How about, "Staffers pirate content in US House."
- nextparadigms 15y agoI don't remember exactly, but I think they were calling for the House to be exempt from SOPA at the hearing.
- wycats 15y agoUnless the idea is that house.gov would be hosting bittorrent trackers, this doesn't really have anything to do with this story.
