Well he's not 100% right is he?

Wikipedia isn't a site dedicated to freedom. So doesn't fall into that category.

They can talk about Pirate Bay as much as the like. They just can't link to it.

If the law works as it should, there won't be any links to follow.

As for following the money, maybe the interviewer should of pressed him on this as it was his solution.

If Paul Markham and Robbie are for something, I think my default position would be to be against it.
So what is wrong with it?

Consider you live and have lived in a world where nearly everything published offline is censored. Can you tell me the websites that brought down a US President, UK Government, shamed the UK Government with the expenses scandal, put politicians and cricketers into prison and today are getting their asses kicked for not censoring what they were doing?

Censorship is required online as well as offline. Without it the publication of child porn, snuff, brutal real rape scenes, etc would be legal. Is that something you would encourage?

And please no debate about the act being illegal, because it shows a lack of understanding.

Yes nico-t what a stupid idea of going back to a time when piracy was a cottage industry and no threat.
