Hotfile is next?

I can actually see their justification this time. If people can get as many as 300 infringement notices but still have an account, that isn't really following the DMCA. You need to follow the DMCA to get protection under current law. Places like Youtube have actual penalties (up to losing the account) in addition to taking down infringing material.

Even as token of a gesture as taking an account away is, it is at least a disincentive to use that service for this kind of stuff.

They're still mostly attacking the symptom not the cause though. And the collateral damage is unacceptable.
The impact done to piracy from these really is negligible except in the short term.

That's true. Of course, the primary causes of piracy are stupid people with lots of money and China. Our government doesn't have a very good track record when it comes to fixing those things.

We have a track record of making such things worse in many cases.

At least it was caught before it was signed into law. Hopefully they won't screw up the rewrite as well.

You guys following the CISPA legislation (Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act)?

Here's a petition, but we need to do more.

Mark Zuckerberg's views on privacy are... controversial. As in, he created Facebook in order to slowly destroy it.

He created Facebook to get people to share their personal lifes to others. He never promised proper privacy, and he kept his promise. Why are you suprised?

Given the other politically-charged links we've had, I guess this link will fit in. http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/israels-behest-woman-removed-air-france-flight-not-being-jewish

How about that religious tolerance eh?
