So I read this headline as: "Switzerland has great privacy laws; US not happy about them"

    The Streisand effect is when trying to hide something becomes publicized and the thing becomes more popular. This is not that.

      Are you sure? I think the parent is saying that calling out Switzerland as safer for pirates will send more there with opposite of intended consequences. I can relate to the possibility. Previously, I thought Switzerland had strong IP laws given many IP companies go there and figured IP address was public. Now, I know they have a high court ruling semi-protecting piracy. If I were a pirate, I'd strongly consider moving to Switzerland.

  Why don't they just add the US to a list of places with oppressive IP laws?
