Very few people here would take issue with this court order if it was about a site that exclusively hosted child porn

Yes, you're right. I have no problem with censoring child porn. However I have a problem censoring the Pirate Bay.

The response of the courts should be proportionate and based on reason and facts. We shouldn't censor any website that dedicated to explaining how to litter (which is also a crime). We don't give the same prison sentance or the same fine to all crimes. Our courts have a long history of different crimes requireing different responses.
