Salute them all you want, but aren't they abusing their power (what they're capable of) just like the file sharing companies are doing? Two wrongs don't make a right.

Ahh, and the plot thickens.

For example, while claiming to remove files that are copies of the movie The Box, Warner removed several files related to the alternative cancer treatment book “Cancer: Out Of The Box,” by Ty M. Bollinger. Another title deleted by Warner was “The Box that Saved Britain,” a production of the BBC, not Warner.

Actually, this looks more like they entered "the box" into a field, and hit find all/delete, thinking that should cover all their copyrighted material for that movie, ignorantly not knowing that there are plenty of other files with the phrase "the box" in it.
