When the US Government came for file sharing domains,
I remained silent;
I was not a file sharer.
When they shut down Torrent Finder,
I remained silent;
I was not a Bit Torrent user.
When they pressured Amazon to shut down WikiLeaks,
I did not speak out;
I was not a leaker.
When they passed the COICA bill,
I remained silent;
I wasn't an infringer or counterfeiter.
When they came for my domain,
there was no one left to speak out.
