It doesn’t matter which side of the debate you sit on, the simple fact is BREIN broke the law with an illegal seizure which has no judicial oversight. They should have gone to court, with evidence, and produced a warrant for seizure. The fact they did not makes them as bad as any large scale commercial pirates. Two wrongs do not make a right, and if BREIN wants the World to think they are doing the right thing, then they have to go about it the right, and legal, way.

OK so this little ISP had rented space out to someone who was hosting pirated material, but that goes for hundreds of ISPs around the World. Unfortunately an ISP or hosting company cannot be expected to be held accountable for all data stored on their servers, they simply do not have the manpower to inspect everything held on their servers. Privacy is also paramount for many organisations, and is a perfectly valid expectation for many LEGAL reasons, including to guard against corporate espionage, protect privacy of customers and their data and details etc. etc. etc. . If BREIN had followed the correct procedures then they could have obtained a valid court order and forced the ISP to turn over only the data BREIN were interested in without it affecting the legitimate customers of that ISP as well. BREIN should face legal consequences as a result of this, and should be censured and fined in accordance with the law,

[...] Alejandra Transporte, een klein bedrijf in Zuid-Amerika dat overigens niets met de Warez-site te maken heeft, laat nu weten dat BREIN voor 138.000 dollar aan materiaal aansloeg én zijn (overigens volstrekt legale bedrijf) volledig kapot maakte. BREIN heeft samen met Worldstream, de ISP die ervoor zorgde dat alles on line kon, een bedrijf stuk gemaakt enkel en alleen omdat ze zogezegd hun eigen rechten wilden vrijwaren. Maar wat over de rechten van het betrokken bedrijf? [...]

I think the problem here is the bipartisan system. It’s like when you have few players on a determined market. It’s not healthy for the consumers at all. In this case Reps and Democrats are the industry and the voters are the consumers. The parties do a lame job, both of them, and you can’t complain cause you can’t opt out or vote to another person.

Denial of Service attacks was brilliant! Unfortunately this is our justice (globally speaking), few countries have the power to prevent abuses of the legal system. I do hope BRAIN get’s fuuu hard on this one. With no lube.
