WikiLeaks CAN Be Stopped: The Feds Must Use the Same Law That They Used to Take Down 75+ BitTorrent Web Sites in the Last Few Days

ICE Investigations has been seizing web sites that have been pirating video and music stuff in the last few days, and it’s using a new law that is also the key to putting a stop to WikiLeaks and their reign of releasing information that doesn’t belong to them.

The new law is called the “Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act” and provides for the government to seize domain names of suspected sites that are in violation of U.S. copyright laws.

They can also use this law to order international web sites to be taken down as well, if they are violating copyright laws.  It also allows for charges and fines to be levied against the web site owners.  By all means, take them WikiLeaks sumbitches DOWN!  It won’t stop them completely, but it’ll slow them down for a while.

It’s better than a government like Russia’s, or Israel’s, to order hits on WikiLeaks employees who dare to participate in the release of information that isn’t theirs to release, which is now inevitable. 

Sooner or later, WikiLeaks will anger the wrong people, and a government will order up their dirty tricks squads to take out some button pushers who release the wrong information, regardless of the consequences.

The sooner that WikiLeaks is held to account for their actions, the better.   No one needs to get shot or blown up, but it will probably start happening soon if WikiLeaks isn’t reined in.
