Actually, it seems to be the off-topic conversation that instigates anger.

When people start doing the quote-and-respond-to-every-sentence-you-type, you know someone is going to get mad.

Two things about this:

1. Kim Dotcom has not been sentenced yet.

2. These are in two different countries. Dotcom is in New Zealand. The other thing was in Spain.

Now everyone can tell each other to stop posting this everywhere.

I never got the point of prison for economic crime. Economic crimes deserve economic punishment, not the state paying money to feed them, entertain them and have a roof over their head.

2. Does it really matter from a basic human rights/moral perspective? Also, it was the US, as far as I know, that got him arrested for something in a different country. I think this poster demonstrates the tragedy of all this well.

Doesn't invalidate point 2. You can just as easily say that Spain is being deficient, not that the Dotcom sentencing is too severe.

No, but I'm saying that the laws of the lands are quite different.

Also, the U.S. is arresting him but he's being detained in New Zealand. If it was the 50 years that this suggests, then it would have been from New Zealand.

Just that this image pisses me off because whoever made it is completely uninformed and is convincing others to believe this untrue shit.
