Let me get this straight. A division of the Department of Homeland Security is shutting down hip-hop blogs to help out the RIAA and you don't see it as a crazy overreach?
I was about to post a comment about "oh look, they overreached with the too-wide anti-terror laws and are using them on music pirate, quelle surprise," so it was useful to know that, except in name and org chart, this has nothing to do with homeland security (and any of the laws associated with the war on terror.) It's a crazy overreach and some Americans need to sort it out, but in some useful senses it has nothing to do with "homeland security".
