#3Is this a joke? I thought it might be serious until I read:
ICE is not focusing its efforts just on web sites that stream dodgy content but those that link to them
Please tell me this is a joke. I don't know whether to laugh or be sad.

Be sad. Until these over reaching idiots get taken down and taken down hard, they will continue to prop up the entertainment industry even though it is the public that is both paying the freight and the penalty.

#6Why is online piracy such a big business (and hence a problem to the rights holders)? Because there are no comparable legal alternatives. So instead of technology and business innovation, let's do legal innovation and sue them people regardless of where they are.

I want to agree with you, because I wish that was the case, but it isn't. The 15-25 set just doesn't care. If they can get a movie for free on bittorrent, or pay $20/mo to stream as many as they want, they'll go for bittorrent the majority of the time.

Do you have anything to back up that claim?
My sister is in that range and she and most of her friends pay for content when they can, or so she tells me.

#9If these sites are in the jurisdiction of the US, aren't they also entitled to the same right of due process? Have any of these seizures been challenged in court? And if so, what's the status of the cases?

#10I get that they can take the domain away, but to seek extradition and US charges in court seems absurd.
