Using Chinese censorship to argue about pirated content is, imo, a variation of the slippery slope fallacy.

If someone obtained your family's credit card numbers and PINs, you would consider them to be in their good right to distribute them freely? They're just numbers, after all.

I was not trying to do so, just using it as an example of freedom of speech being good in other contexts than the purely political.

But yes, credit card numbers are piss poor security wise. That's why banks essentially write replacements off. Compromise is expected.

There would be nothing I could do to prevent them from distributing them. All I can do is make the numbers useless.
