Or in the language of the press release, "Foreign Rogue Sites That Earned $10 Million Annually from Copyrighted Content Shut Down by US Publishers and International Alliance." Where can I buy the comic book?!?! (or download it, nudge nudge)
Honestly, though, I don't see anything controversial here. As long as they're not trying to track down users and fine them eleventy-seven thousand monies per page, this action seems appropriate and properly targeted.

only 10 million $$$s? it probably cost publishers far more than that to get the operation going.
even if the publishers had those 10 million smackeroos that were 'stolen' from them they'd probably only pee it away giving snooki or j-wow another book deal anyway
