Gideon likes to say that he is defending the rights of these sites to exist because there are some people who use them for legitimate reason. He has never said what an acceptable rate of criminal activity is. To me it is like saying, "Sure, it is a crack house and they sell a hell of a lot of crack to people, but they also sell gum and a few people in the area might buy a package of gum from them so we should let it stay open because of that."

He claims to be against piracy yet seems to champion anything that makes combating piracy more difficult.
