Protect IP and SOPA - Wipe your tears away...

UPDATE - Looks like this has become a part of internet history. Mafiaafire's url is now owned by a foreign company and the language appears to be Arabic.
The Firefox addon link is also no longer valid. It appears the DHS demanded Mozilla take it down and at the time of the demand Mozilla refused.
IDK if the DHS was eventually successful, I was unable to find updated info on what happened.

What's a matter bunkie? Protect IP and SOPA made you blue? If they pass, no more pirate bay 4 U?
I wrote about SOPA in my previous article, and looking at the greedy, corrupt U.S. congress it would not surprise me in the least if it passed, and of course if it did MAFIAA groups like the RIAA and MPAA would get busy shutting down as many sites as they can, even ones with just links to what they consider copyright infringement.
Before your eyes start welling up with tears envisioning the desert of a new, shitty, corporate/government controlled internet smile, because once again the good guys have leapfrogged the net Nazis. A group called MAFIAAFire has released a browser plugin, The Pirate Bay Dancing.
Today MAFIAAFire delivers a new release that aims to thwart the increasing censorship efforts in countries worldwide. Named "The Pirate Bay Dancing," the Firefox add-on undoes local DNS and IP blocks by routing users through a series of randomly picked proxies.
So there you have it, U.S. government IP blocking thwarted before it even got started.
