If they're as bad as it's said, that should be something backed up with ironclad facts. Not made up bullshit. "Facts" that can be debunked should be, no matter who the victim of the misrepresentations is.
Misread the the title of this as "Libertarians"? I would think they would have a serious problem with SOPA as well, though given the views some of them have on property rights, maybe not.
I've been using turntable just for the last week. For me, what's been the best part of it is the mini-community aspect - there's a facebook group around the room I frequent most often, and it has regulars and in-jokes. The service isn't perfect, but that just means there's lots of room for improvement and further innovation. Of course, any changes to the core service will have to clear the RIAA anti-innovation hurdle. As it is, It's already something that I find myself spending a lot of time on - and I've never seen music as a truly social experience until now.
He talks about things like "naked images" and "credit card bills" in the general category of things that people almost always want privacy for, that only the extreme/strawman form of "nothing to hide" would want to access, and contrasts them with things the government is likely to collect. Except... the government takes naked images in airports and is trying to persuade all foreign passengers to the US to allow the US to save their credit card information for 15 years.
Add to that the fact that their goods are infinitely reproducible (digital) goods and you have a recipe for disaster. We really shouldn't be surprised about this.
The PS3 crack that kicked off Sony's recent legal campaign against GeoHot and Anonymous' subsequent DDOS attacks was made possible by the PS3 validating all games through a single root key. Bad security practice appears to be endemic at Sony, from DRM to network security.
My guess
My guess would be that the parent is overreacting to the naked bathroom fight scene.
The entire public?
Might be too soon, but [citation needed]. I can't repeat that claim in my arguments without a source to back me up!
I just gave to my first kickstarter yesterday. Whether the rent-seekers like it or not, innovators gonna innovate.

Re: Kind of funny observation
That's the point, I believe.

I think it's hilarious that they use the ubuntu symbol for every flavor of linux and *BSD, but the chrome os has it's own symbol.

Just so...
They are doing what the US is doing, they're just doing it in a self-aware manner. 1984 quotes go here, boot stomping, human face, etc.

I'm afraid we need to see you naked, sir. For the children.

Not surprised...
Just disappointed.

Surprised?
These guys were selling zero-marginal-cost goods on a closed platform. That was never a future-proof business model.
Company-wide pattern?

Outrageous!
If anything, the customers should be apologizing to Bluehost for making them reveal just how little they actually care about their customers!
