I've been telling people to stay off sites like this as soon as Napster was created.
There is no point except people already know the site is illegal and in America it's
always said that ignorance of the law is not an excuse.
The judge wouldn't have to order the private information released if the web site
would simply admit that it is making money off of stolen content and pay up.
So blame the site hosting the illegal content.
People can't commit crime(copyright theft) and then claim "user privacy" as
an defense. How private is the information anyway since the company employees
can see it all? And if the information is limited to attorneys then wouldn't it
still be private since the lawyers are not the public?
