Nominations Open For "Most Likely to be Shut Down By Government"

The corporate overlords at SourceForge asked me to name a Slashdot category for their upcoming Community Choice Awards and to let you guys select the winner. I have named my category "Most Likely to be Shut Down by a Government Agency." We're going to run this like we do an Ask Slashdot call for questions — post your nominations into the comments here. Use moderation to send up good ideas. In the upcoming days we'll post another story where you can vote on the actual winner. Nominations need to include the project name, a link to some sort of official website, and a paragraph of why you think they deserve to win. The project that wins will gain fame, notoriety, and maybe a cease and desist order that they could print out and frame if they had that kind of time.

What's the Point of This???

I'm sorry, but this is just a retarded ask slashdot question. Is this just for the paranoid anti-government conspiracy nerds who think THE MAN is out to destroy their amateur piracy software project? Or just another opportunity for the lefties to rail about the US government's evil oppression of their digital and Internet rights (including the right to pirate anything they want just because they can)?

In any case, if anything was "Most Likely to be Shutdown By Government", it would have been already, and you guys would be the first to make a stink about it. Do you really think truecrypt is going to be shut down, get real. This whole exercise is pointless and stupid.

Never underestimate the ability of democrats to fuck up a sure thing. They fucked up 2004 right?

And besides, if they do win, you'll wish they hadn't. Mark my words.

No I understand that, but if its already been listed, how do you vote? by commenting on it?

"I vote for this"?

seems most of the duplicate votes (ie: WikiLeaks) is being modded redundant, does that get included?

Is someone (many?) going to read through all the comments to tally "I vote for this"? I suspect that cmdrtaco browses at -1. He like seems to like goatse.
