Not just piracy.
True, but only one of the suspects is alleged to be involved with CSAM. Also, it seems like that wasn't the original lead the police were pursuing, given that the charges were added post-arrest. This seems very much like an anti-piracy operation that just happened to catch a pedophile as well.
Reserve judgements until there is some real evidence. Think of the children narratives open a lot of doors for intrusive actions and advance a pirate=criminal narrative.
Yeah, I don't care if you're seeding the entirety of film history for free. If you're also helping distribute child pornography, you deserve to rot.
I do wonder if this is a usenet case though. I know that's a concern for a lot of people.
Wait, is that a problem with usenet?
If this is true, they need to prove it in court... It seems like they are just throwing out pedo shit to distract from idiotic waste of resources to protect some US parasites "property"
