Do they? I know for sure nobody in my circle of friends cares in the slightest if people pirate media from huge companies.

I don't think anyone other than Disney shareholders gives an iota of a damn if others pirate movies/shows/music from the big guys. And I especially don't think most people would seek extradition for a guy who hosted a piracy website, especially, that's the type of thing psychopathic execs and their ilk seem to be into. Especially someone who's not even a US citizen or has any affiliation with the US.

Also, keep in mind we're talking companies like Disney here, who are currently fighting a legal battle [1] because someone died due to their negligence and using the argument that agreeing to the T&C of their streaming service absolves them of wrongdoing in a person's death.

So yeah, don't expect anyone to feel sorry for the plight of the poor soulless megacorporation here, they'd destroy the earth if it made them half a nickel more in yearly profits.

Nice strawman on the TOC, but there are _plenty_ of people whose jobs rely on intellectual property protections. I know people who have developed recipes and sold the publishing rights to them. Artists copyright their work to prevent it from being copied outright. Even FLOSS is based in intellectual property protections: if someone charges you for access to the Linux kernel source code, they've effectively done the inverse of what Kim Dotcom did, but it's still against the license to do so.

Again, you can make the argument that these protections are too broad or too durable, but it's not in anyone's best interest for intellectual works to be unprotectable under law.
