Congress could not care less about "legal" or "illegal" data on the internet. HN seems to buy into the idea that Congress wants everything to be fair. No. they just got done bankrupting this country 30 times over via theft by taking the origional, they care not about fairness. Sopa is about a thumb of smite button for Congress. I for one will refuse to code up this mothership app for them. If you find yourself coding this up, half ass it or make a backdoor for the citizens when it gets abused. Absolute power corrupts and causes cravings for more power. child porn, terrorists, fairness are juse ruses to keep people distracted.


We don't need backdoors, since it won't work anyway. That's why TPB doesn't run a tracker anymore: they said it was outdated and had been replaced by DHT and peer exchange. You don't even need DNS for that.
