No, don't downplay it. Internet censorship is internet censorship. It is unacceptable. You are being told what you are not allowed to see. The pirate bay has absolutely no material that infringes any copyright holder -- it hosts magnet links and comments. Infohash's identify content in a torrent and permit resolution of the files via trackers and DHT. If someone chooses to use these magnet links to resolve and download bytes of copyright material, that's on them. TPB is an archive of hashes. 'Western countries' that prevent their citizens from viewing hashes is pre-crime enforcement. Do not accept this.
