I don't want to oppose tragic nature of this. Yet, it's interesting that w.cd being pure piracy site is praised for content and community which kept it online and supported. So you must understand now, why piracy is such an issue in small countries. There is no way to get so much stuff legally. And when piracy is the only option, it gets acquitted by most people. When we are asked about piracy in our lives, this is the answer. We have no way to access so much of the content people in other countries take for granted. It even goes much further than that. When you land in one of our airports, your iphone and android device goes blind and dumb. Many of services (uber, yelp, google play, amazon, maps) are not available here or are crippled beyond usability. But there is no solution to that :) While we live in mostly free border-less world, we are still slaves of copyright laws and strategies of large companies. Actually, there is discussion between EU legislators and librarians to cut copyright years for newspapers. It's a shame we cannot use internet to access anything written in our country's Soviet era newspapers because of this, though everything is already digitised, OCRed and available over web browser when you are on-site.
