It is 964 words long to be exact. And all of them have to do with what the Pirate Bay did and does, and with common threads that arise in the discussion of such matters.
That said, if you prefer discussion confined in tidy little boxes, feel free to skip it.
"tidy little boxes"!? What you're waffling on about is an argument spread all over the web that's been had time and time and time again, even just here on HN. You're spoiling for a fight that's already been had far too many times, but are apparently too lazy to bother trying to link it to the article in question.
The irony is that you're arguing in the same little box that's been a battleground so many times before and not trying to incorporate the new event.
It's also not a matter of 'just skipping it', because it's a wall-of-text that's also flamebait - it's quite possible for half the thread to be taken up with the same rehashed arguments that have nothing to do with the article at hand.
