While Drafting SOPA, the U.S. House Harbors BitTorrent Pirates

white88enochian

In recent weeks we discovered BitTorrent pirates at the RIAA, Sony, Fox, Universal and even law-abiding organizations such as the Department of Homeland Security. By now it should be clear that people are using BitTorrent pretty much everywhere, and not only for lawful downloads. Today we can add the U.S. House of Representatives to that list, the place where lawmakers are drafting the much discussed “Stop Online Piracy Act” (SOPA).

houseYouHaveDownloaded is a treasure trove full of incriminating data on alleged BitTorrent pirates in organizations all across the world.

Unauthorized downloads occur even in the most unexpected of places, from the palace of the French President, via the Church of God, to the RIAA.

I know it won't, but I hope this kicks the arse of Congress and the other big "businesses" into realising almost everyone is involved in Piracy - even low-level. Remember the days of "Don't copy that Floppy"? Yeah.

You can't fight them, make things easily accessible and provide more OPEN formats and you will get money in the end.
