This is a damn shame. (I wish we all could have gotten a bit more of that “government shutdown” we keep hearing about. But narcs never have budget problems, because the idiotic and destructive War on Drugs trumps everything else.) http://gizmodo.com/feds-seize-silk-road-everybodys-favorite-illegal-drug-1440172693 If there is any hope here, it’s to remember that Silk Road was just a start, and although it made heavy use of decentralized technologies (Tor, Bitcoin), it was ultimately a centralized web service. A stationary target which, eventually, the narcs were going to find. It looks like it will go down as the Napster of online black markets. Now, the question is, what’s going to become the BitTorrent?
