The hypocrisy of the comments here is hilarious.

This is exactly the same as the MPAA shutting down websites and fining people all over the world. All the people here crying "they have no jurisdiction!" are really just getting a taste what their own government has been doing to people all around the world for decades.

Never mind 'Murica going around the world enforcing their laws and ideals with their armed forces.




Hacker News is certainly a hotbed of pro-MPAA activism.


How many MPAA backers do you think you'll find here?


As others point out: Many here (even those of us who live in the US!) feel that it is equally a load of hogwash for the US to try go after others around the world. There's no hypocrisy to call "bullshit!" on both groups of cases.


I don't agree with the MPAA fines either, but I wouldn't say that copyright infringement is the same as free speech....
