I mean, this is what we're talking about. These sites have perfectly legitimate functions on the internet. They're just a place where anyone can upload/store files. An internet locker so to speak. Just because most people share the links to their goods and those goods happen to be music and what have you most of the time, doesn't mean they should be able to kill the whole site OR arrest anybody ESPECIALLY people in New Zealand!

Sorry to keep kind of playing devil's advocate here, but from what I've read there's actually more to the charges than simply running a site that people happened to have uploaded pirated content to. And they were arrested by New Zealand police.
