This was not forced upon them by the courts via the MPAA lawsuit, although IMO the decision to block US traffic is related to a recent ruling in that case.

Fine.... let them start this way... a good portion of their sales come from the US anyway... as do other torrent sites.
Let's see.... if 75-80% of my sales come from US based customers... and those customers can't get my product illegally.... then they will have to shop for it legally...
OK... no problem with them cutting out US surfers.... when the legal situations in other countries require the same... then they are effectively shut down.
