Excoriate Kim Dotcom but to avoid being hypocritical make sure you do likewise for those large corporations who perfected his method.

Flip it around, and that's where I'm at. Condemn the companies that the tactic is most associated with; don't excuse Kim Dotcom for doing it, too.

Not just this tactic but way worse too. Mass pollution, tax dodging, promoting war for profit, etc. Kim Dotcom is like Mother Teresa comparatively.

Well, yeah. But that doesn't make the tactics he's using here any less bad (in my book).
