Perhaps at the grand old age of 32, I am becoming bitter and jaded but after SOPA and ACTA was blocked, they are just going to come around and try again and again and again. This is exactly what has happened in Australia with this damn internet filter.
I remember what it was like to dial into BBS's when I was in high school. The freedoms we had online then were incredible compared to what we have today.
The fight we are fighting is not one to win new territory or new freedoms - its one to protect what we already have. Sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. But we have to win all the time just to keep things where they are today. All it takes is one loss and something is irrevocably gone...

Don't feel bad. It just means the family of the deviant hacker criminal won't have to pay the bill for the bullet. Or in other words: Yeah, china. There's an ideal to aspire to.
