Yes, because some shadow mega-corp's imaginary 'property' rights are so much more important that someone's rights to life, liberty, and living at home with family.
If the US is so desperate for immigrants to boost the income of its private jails that it has to import them specially, why not start with some of our illegal immigrants first? >:)
Since he wasn't breaking the law in the UK, and he lives in the UK, why should he care what the law is in the US? Once again, if we all have to live by every other country's laws, then we will suffer the worst totalitarian mess ever.
Can we just wish it on the entertainment companies, or I could equally wish bad luck on all the US who support the 'terrorist' MAFIAA and its satellite organisations!
Except that it'll get amended to 'can allege that you visited a torrent site'.
Just think of the numbers the MAFIAA will be quoting due to 'piracy losses': "Dear Representative, this 20-year-old went bankrupt and cost us our $140 billion, can we joinder him to these other 100 million cases?"
On the plus side, the MAFIAA will want to pay for everyone's health insurance to keep them healthier and alive for longer! :)

This blog covers global tech & IP issues, since these things spread further than just the quaint backyard of 'Murrica. Like for instance, the discussion of imported goods maybe not having first sale right. Or large chunks of the rest of the world rejecting your domineering 'treaties' like ACTA and TPP.
Please feel free to crawl back into your trailer and ignore your dependency on the rest of the world. Much good it's done you before.

General sale or resale is one thing, but in a case where someone has bought their own copy and wants a translation, first sale should apply. And if it IS a legal copy, then that right to watch bought with it should include the right to understand it!
