I have read the link and understand the situation fully. The MPAA are fully entitled to use US law in order to enforce their copyrights even if you disagree with it on principle.

I don't really see what the problem is. Intellectual copyright theft is illegal and therefore it's somewhat inevitable that sites that facilitate this will get targeted by the relevant judicial systems.

Sums up the situation nicely really, you may not want to pay $25 for a CD but if you want to legally have access to the content then that's what you have to do. You may choose to obtain it by illegal means but to condone this and even present it as the moral thing to is just a fallacy.
