Yeah, you're completely right. But I don't understand why so many are against his comments. He's making a good point that there are a lot of people defending torrent and file sharing sites like they're bastions of freedom and the good guys. The reality is that theyre known to be used for sharing copyrighted files illegally. Some even advertise it. There's really not much of a defense for them, we all know what they do. Hell, even I use them at times which I know is wrong (I'm sorry, I'm only human). The GP's intent wasn't to support SOPA. Read his comments again, please, as he makes a good point. These sites are fighting SOPA because they know they'll be easily shut down if it passes and they know they're providing copyrighted content. The difference between people like us here on HN and those that run the sites in question is that our aim would most likely be to disrupt content delivery legitimately through a startup and they're just trying to keep getting that CPC ad revenue. Our reasons for being against SOPA are very different and he sees no defense for the sites in question.
