Next they will go after YouTube, Google, Metcafe, etc.. because they show certain parts of the movies. They will never be able to stop things like this because it is legal i other countries so more business will pop up in other countries like Canada or Mexico. Anything on the internet is free speech and free for anyone. If they are so mad they need to go after the people leaking the movie or music. It all came from someplace.
I hope he wins and keep up the great work.
