Well the USA laundered Nazi money at the start of WW2 (prescott bush), helped to create the North/South Korean divide in the Korean War, COMPLETELY facilitated the power vacuum and instability in the region (intentionally) that led to ISIS, and were major proponents in not only the creation of the state of Israel and the theft of Palestinian lands to do so, but also in arming them with weapons (including nuclear bombs).
So to say they are 'worse than' these things is kind of misleading. They *ARE* these things.
The DOJ along with the rest of the US government is bought and paid for by various private groups. In this case the MPAA and RIAA are flexing their muscles showing that due process and law doesn't apply to them since they've got the money and the clout to step over it.
DOJ indeed. More like Department of Injustice. Dotcom is in a terrible position. They've basically got a gun to his head, told him that if he comes to the US they'll fire, and then say "If you don't come to the US we'll take everything you own." Either way they win and that's what makes a good lawyer...right? It's not about justice...it's about power.
I used to be concerned about the constitution and freedom and all these ideological issues until I realized they're all just propaganda. Our society has not yet evolved past the law of the jungle. I'm concerned...but not because I feel like my rights are being trampled...but that I'm just sitting in a cave with sabre tooth tigers wandering around looking for a meal.
Dotcom is just a tasty looking snack and the massive public doesn't get it enough to be outraged.
