How does Bush get lumped into this?

Bush, Obama, Romney... They are all establishment backed politicians.


I want to hear what the appologists for the establishment have to say...

Its the same response as the one to that gawd awful piece-of-shit anti-constitutional bill Obama just signed - i]if you don't break the law you have nothing to fear, ii] they can't help it, they had to!

The category is more accurately named "Anybody but Ron Paul" because, obviously, Ron Paul could have stopped this whole thing with a totally-not-racist newsletter or something.

It's funny how data owned by big corporations is valued so much that all kinds of laws have to be introduced to cater to them, and data owned by the average Joe can simply be taken away and deleted.

Please RTFA.


The government is not deleting the data, nor are they requesting that the data be deleted.

I don't think I am an apologist for them, but I am sure you'll disagree so I'll say this. I don't care about megaupload users. I don't have any info there.

What a screwed up situation. Im glad i dont put any of my stuff on public storage other than emails.

I dont think "cloud" if you want to call this that has any place with normal consumer data. It should probably only be used by big corps that use hundreds or more VMs.
