A few days ago we [TorrentFreak] reported that no less than 6 IP-addresses registered to the RIAA had been busted for downloading copyrighted material.

“There has been much concern over the refusal of the occupation to state clearly the nature of its political ideology. We offer that a sober assessment of the current situation explains this silence. One does not have to be a Republican to be outraged at the pointed destruction of the competitive market by the Federal Reserve. Just as one does not have to be a Democrat to be disgusted...
