Interestingly - it appears that this is <i>exactly</i> what happened in NZ to Kim Dotcom! Video actually shows what happened...<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4360390" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4360390</a>
Pretty sure you wouldn't send armed police to arrest a kid who infringed copyright. Certain you wouldn't pistol whip an unarmed kid while he is sitting in his chair.<p>I was expect a hard hitting short video showing the facts about the effects of hollywood lobbying on US law as well as the greater effects of its implementation on countries abroad.<p>Instead we get a video that made me laugh at the ridiculousness scenario someone dreamed up.
Interesting video, but the whole things seems to be blown out of proportion. The video cost US$5,000. The funders were two people working in financial services, outside of the US. Given the title, I was expecting a heck of a lot more.
Often wondered why those with serious money don't do more of these type of gestures. I certainly hope to be able to do this when/if I get into the position that I can.
