It's not about punishing the user's, but about keeping yourself out of jail.

Why should the operators of a site risk getting extradited to the US, when what they are doing is perfectly legal in their home countries and lots of other countries?

If you are a user and want to access this site just buy VPN access in the free world and enjoy uncensored browsing.
