I'll rephrase it for more relevance.
First they came for the shoplifters, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a shoplifter.
Then they came for the burglars, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a burglar.
And then they came after me.
Maybe that's because stealing other people's work and posting it at my torrent site wasn't such a good idea after all?
