So why is this pressure not extended to other countries? Piratebay/Megaupload/Megavideo/Fileserve/etc is not blocked in other countries. The only one implementing this block is bolehland. Its so blatant to see that the gomen/tmnuts is doing this in order to conserve bandwidth. Afterall, those sites are the most "used" sites for filesharing/downloading. I could somewhat understand blocking piratebay/warez-bb but not the filesharing sites (megavideo,megaupload,etc).

Mininova being stripped down is not the same as this and is a terrible example. What happened was that the site had to remove their copyright content after being served by legal means/papers. This on the otherhand is outright blocking. As many others have stated, if they cared about preserving copyrights the appropriate action would be informing the respective file sharing providers to remove the illegal content.
