I'm so incredibly happy police resources are being used to "protect" the rest of us from... harm...?

I guess that's something else a bunch of us learned about the world from moving in those circles. Important life lessons provided by being at least adjacent to music piracy.

Police exists to enforce the policy set by legislations.

Legislations define rules to protect "us" from harm, but police is for policing only.

They do not protect people. They protect the law.

I know. I'm just, allowed to be sad

As far as I'm aware, the Pirate Bay raid essentially only happened because the US threatened Sweden with trade repercussions. Like, thanks, guys? Way to show you have superior ethics to the pirates

Music piracy and copyright infringement are civil matters, the police is (...should not be?) involved.
