ORIGINAL: Brian McCarthy ran a website, channelsurfing.net, that linked to various sites where you could watch online streams of TV shows and sports networks. A couple months ago, the government seized his domain name and on Friday they arrested him and charged him with criminal copyright infringement -- punishable by five years in prison."

Is it me, or does this sound frighteningly prophetic. I mean isn’t that what we do here mostly is link to content on other websites?
Is this the precursor for shutting down FR and other sites like it right before the ‘12 elections.
