Such penalties should be extended to all sites that index torrents that are of illegal nature. I can only hope that someday all warez/illegal content site managers will be put in jail.


OMFG!! My freedom is being compromised ;) They won't let me illegally share stuff ;)

Ok it seems like if I'm against theft and criminal activity, I get -9 negative points.

If I go steal your car stereo, and whatever other items are in your car, will you give me my points back plz plz plz? **makes puppy face**
