This strikes me as the typical political response when you are backing a terrible candidate and somebody points out something terrible they do/did. Rather than defend your candidate you respond by attacking theirs. My kids do this all the time when I catch them doing something wrong, "well #{brother} was doing #{badthing}!"

Both seem wrong, can we agree on that? DMCA is a disgusting weapon, as is a lot that the US has done. Does that make weapons created by Europe ok?
