I hope you can understand, or that at least readers will understand, that this kind of comment is like referring to defendants in criminal cases as "criminals" when they haven't been convicted of anything.
Even if someone has been found liable by a court for copyright infringement, preventing them from having internet access would be excessively harsh. It would be evil and anti-democratic to prevent a person from having access to news, books or publishers because he committed libel or obscenity; the judgment for the plaintiff is enough.
But we're not even talking about court judgments - just unaccountable accusations which may be mistaken, or trumped up for ulterior motives. |
