He owns some of it... which makes him directly responsible. Although his name won't be the one that gets called out, it will probably be Andrew.
What makes it bad, and I think this is the biggest thing that pisses off webmasters, is that Lars was one of us.
Cams/Streamray and AFF built their companies on the backs of webmasters.
Even if there was no CP on these file sharing sites, the fact that they are stealing content en masse from webmasters... literally destroying the industry they built their company on should be enough for Lars, who was one of us, to say "that isn't right, we aren't going to support them."
But he's not. He's literally just telling everybody "fuck you." They aren't doing anything to stop this. Nothing. It's amazing to me and everyone else.
The announcement today was smoke and mirrors. It was plain to see. The timing was unmistakable. I wouldn't be surprised if the legal department at Various suggested it as a course of action in order to have some kind of protection when their name starts getting tossed around in the media regarding this situation.
