What's scary is that the submitter thinks shutting these sites down is somehow wrong and unjust. There are a lot of things wrong with the big music companies, but this is not one of them.
Hold on now, Sheriff. You're blending contexts of the term 'wrong'. It's not 'wrong' for these sites to be shut down in the sense that a law was broken and is being enforced. A better way of putting it is it's not illegal.
A law is, however, not magically right and just simply because it's a law. In the same sense, the actions of the MPAA and other agenda imposing organizations aren't right and just simply because they're acting in accordance with the law. There is an underlying moral problem with every Intellectual Property related issue and you are making and imposing a very strong judgement.
What's ironic is all the paranoia surrounded with the safe storage of nuclear waste, when there are far worse things affecting the earth as a whole. The paranoiacs in this thread seem to have overlooked the problem of environmental destruction and overpopulation, which is a far worse issue than a few thousand (or hundred thousand--who cares) humans dying. Perhaps we should consider the issue of wiping out most of the life on the entire planet?

Actually, SCO is after money, and they're not after it the honorable way.
BTW, it's subpoena..
