What kind of logic is that? It is perfectly reasonable to care about human rights and totalitarianism but not for copyrights. In fact it seems a bit questionable that you would use the speeding ticket of online rule violations as an excuse to completely discard any other moral considerations.

Ultimately it's your choice of course, but still. Questionable reasoning

The problem with this argument is that you are ruling out entire countries for the acts of corrupt governments. Thing is there is no such thing as a clean government. Everybody has skeletons in their closet.

A server is an emotionless piece of hardware, regardless of where it stands. Geo-arbitration is just that, in my eyes.
