Kim DotCom is a disgusting bloated fat pig. He peddles in illegal stolen wares. He profits from the illicit use of other people's creations. Most around here don't like copyright, but it remains legitimate law. Nerds love 'free' movies, but it is killing the people who produce movies just like the music industry.
Do we really need to have bitcoin involved in more criminal uses? Do we really want to associate bitcoin as this go to tool for assholes who want to steal?
Bitcoin will be great as soon as we get rid of the anarchy assholes think its primary use is to traverse the law.
Kim Schmitz is merely a dirty filthbag. I don't accept him as an ambassador for Bitcoin.
That kind of propaganda doesn't work any more.
Nobody believes it (if they ever did), and it does the opposite of "winning hearts and minds".
The next generation of developers is going to grow up seeing legal denouncement of their projects as professional validation, and having their software banned a rite of passage.
