Here's a good discussion on Privacy/copyright that I thought I'd share. Teksavvy is currently in a battle for its customers privacy.

"When mega upload was taken down, I didn’t see this as a copyright piracy thing, I saw this as a move by the incumbent media companies trying to destroy a distribution model independents relied on. Essentially copyright in the music industry is often misused to undermine competition. The owner of megauploads house was raided, assets seized, and for what? Because he chose to innovate on providing cloud storage? I certainly do not want to innovate in an environment like that. Note to readers, DMCA notices have been filed by Universal Music Group on the above ad, which according to the uploader was taken down by youtube on the first upload attempt. I wonder why that would be?"

"Mr. Fewer said such cases, which rarely if ever end up in court after the identities are disclosed, are a means of generating revenue for films that didn’t earn much at the box office. “It’s not a legitimate business model. It’s a misuse of copyright and a misuse of the courts,” he said."
