this wasnt piracy in the same vain as you download it or share it, which is why i was originally against this happening, but this douche set up a criminal empire of sorts, profiting off the piracy, and not in a non profit "keep the site and servers up" way.
this is the kind of crap that the laws were made to deal with, not the end user, but the person behind it, and unlike megaupload, this kid knew exactly what he was doing and there was no legitimate data at all.
because he is in the eu, im taking a wild guess that more than one treaty they have, he violated in a way that is a grey area that was set up to protect forums and such from a link posted to criminal activities. this kid decided to abuse those provisions, and thats why we are here today.
i would probably view this differently if it were a more... non profit kind of deal, but this douche made more than most people make a year off of a legal grey area... was for him originally, but the more i find out the less i want to see him not serve time in prison.
