Expediency is the name of the game in this case. Stopping pirate bay is
number one priority. When they fall, other heads will roll soon after.

 MvdV>>>>>>> So we are back to attempting to impose US laws and US moral
 MvdV>>>>>>> values on others.
 RW>>>>>> You have nobody to blame for that but your own government(s);
 RW>>>>>> those who've signed treaties with the US government that

Perhaps...

Like you've been told, you have no case, so you will be laughed out of
court.

 RW>>>> Just because you can't handle the truth, doesn't make it

 MvdV> Of course they are. at least that is what they think. We shall wait

Oh, the court makes the decision, even though it's tried by jury?

That would work both ways. Then you wouldn't be bitching about it.

 MvdV> They always explain eveything to their own advantage and very

That probably depends on which side of the toast is buttered.

 MvdV>>>>> What citicens of other countries do in their own country is
 MvdV>>>>> none of your bussines.
 RW>>>> I don't care what you think about it.
 MvdV>>> That is a two way street.
 RW>> Then I'm free to voice my opinion with no more bickering from you.
 MvdV> You are free to voice you opinion. Amd then I am free to voive my
 MvdV> opinion on your's.

And we're both free to ignore each others voiced opinions.

 MvdV>>>>> I wish them good luck. Snitching is not very popular in
 MvdV>>>>> Germany.
 RW>>>> It's becoming more popular as we speak.
 MvdV>>> Dream on.
 RW>> Well, let's see if the snitching website in Germany goes away. If
 RW>> not, it must be true.

 MvdV> They probably wont go away entirely. It will just fade into
 MvdV> oblivion. Like BSA.

What you perceive as 'fading away' may be the silence of the
prosecuted...too proud to tell everyone about their sentences.
