The article says that one of the points of doing this is to get copyright and license fees to the artists and to simplify the maze of copyright regulations that cover Europe."

      Why should we give a shit? If it pisses of the savages behind these attacks, it's worth it. You trust-fund teenage left-wing hippies piss me off, defending the actions of the Jihad from the comfort of your air-conditioned houses.
