Title: RIAA: SOPA Style Blocking Has Backfired

Apparently, all the proxies that have sprung up as a result of site blocking are providing many more copies of the same links, exasperating their original problem at least several times fold. Ironically, its made copyrighted content easier than ever to download online.

One day they'll realize it's useless trying to suppress information with this "internet" thing around. It's like the hydra, except this time if you cut off one head thousands more grow.
