We can fake outrage over poor innocent Kim Dotcom. We can compare him to more egregious criminals (Madoff). We can white about excessive police force. But the reality is, he was hosting stolen content. His entire business model was built around hosting stolen content. You may not like our laws, but they are the law. If you want them changed, do something about it. The fact is that the government, created by the people, took action to defend the law. I don't care if you are democrat, republican, libertarian or other, if you dislike it, go become active in your local politics, start making a difference (and that doesn't mean occupying a random street corner). We need your outrage focused on fixing our government, not complaining about it from the sidelines.
