They fairly consistently have the best journalism of any mainstream-oriented tech news site, work hard to stay unbiased (though don&apos;t always achieve that 100%), and hire quality writers.&lt;p&gt;That being said, I don&apos;t like this piece. It&apos;s emotional, and even as they admit, hyperbolic. Unless &quot;crazy freetards&quot; is a word the MPAA used in their posting, I don&apos;t see a legitimate reason for Ars to use it. The bill might be &lt;i&gt;absolutely freaking insane&lt;/i&gt;, but I don&apos;t read Ars to be told that, I read Ars to be informed about the issue.&lt;p&gt;I understand their passion, their disgust, and their defensiveness. I share their sentiments exactly. I just don&apos;t understand why that should undermine their professionalism.</text></comment>
