There is a motto which sounds, more or less, "Athens may mourn, but Sparta won't celebrate". I have several reasons to hate sites like Exhentai and their user base, but know what?! I am not happy at all.
I heard that Exhentai went down due to some changes to the Netherland laws. What are these changes about, exactly? If Exhentai went down because maintenance became too expensive or for copyright infringement, I couldn't care less, but what if Exhentai went down because it hosted controversial content, despite they were mere fiction?
More and more countries, that they say are democratic, are undergoing the fascination of censorship and people like us are way too easy to criminalize. With all these bad examplesa around, things may get quite sinister to us. I really hope I am wrong.
