in the ny times: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/27/technology/27torrent.html?_r=1 http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/27/technology/27torrent.html?... link to the official announcement on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqGziXOPO2A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqGziXOPO2A what i find most disturbing is not the action against IP infringement on US territory. what i find disturbing is: 1) the announcement that "suspected criminals would be pursued anywhere in the world." They say "American business is under assault from counterfeiters and pirates", sure this is true, but why should the US care that this happens outside of their country? 2) the freedom of a modern democracy is completely underminded by this measure. one should be innocent until proven guitly (by a court case -- in this case there was no trial), and secondly one has the right to free speach. both of these rights have been compromised by the measure. this --in my opinion-- voids the moral supriority of a modern democracy, and puts the US on a list of countries that cannot guarantee basic freedom for its citizens (like China).
