What exactly is novel about this case of copyright infringement if you put aside the political angle? Thousands of new torrents get uploaded every day, this is established technology that has existed for decades.

For this to be actually tech related it needs to have more interesting technical details. Otherwise it's like any other pirated movie and limitations of free speech story (it is always "censorship" or "good thing" depending on what speech particular person dislikes because of their political party)
