This bill would essentially allow the government to shut down websites they deem an accessory to illegal file-sharing, without any hearings or due process. I usually stay away from the "government is out to get us man" crowd(and in fact, am usually virulently against them), but this has me genuinely concerned for my first amendment rights. What do you guys think?
EDIT- apparently the EFF agrees with me:
