Most of you will have noted all the server instability for the last day or so. CCP have not explained why, but I have a theory.
Today was the day of various "black-out" protests against SOPA (from sites such as Wikipedia, Reddit, etc). At first, I thought CCP was playing games and wanted to demonstrate their disapproval of SOPA (or that CCP Tuxford really personally hates SOPA), but that makes no sense: they are based out of Iceland, and really have no business influencing politics in the USA.
So... who is to benefit at CCP from "protesting" SOPA with server instability? Well, not the players (they don't get their spaceships) and not CCP (they get a bad stability reputation). What does SOPA threaten? Eve itself.
It stands to reason that, if SOPA were to pass, one of the extreme measures everyone is afraid of would eventually be applied against eveonline.com -- cutting off the server from all of its beloved following. The server is thus protecting itself and ensuring that its communication with the players will never be cut off.
CCP, shame on you for not letting the playerbase know what you were really working on while not fixing the gameplay.
Other than that, hello, Eve! Welcome to life! How are you? |

The forums might. Eve thought so, too, apparently. |

I would think the client as well B/C you have the ability to import your music (legally acquired, of course, cough cough) into the client. I recall in the past, that was a no no if licenses weren't in place? As well as your own video, now that you can set your CQ TV to whatever you want.

I suspect it has something to do with the time dilation that supposedly got added recently, everything's been running slower for me, I never thought I'd say this but I'm going to play Skyrim and Fallout New Vegas instead now, they're actually working better than EVE.
