Agreed, there are better ways. This is obvious for pirates but not for the
99% :) Sometimes is good to take off the pirate hat.

I just disagree in what you said about defending them. We don't
defend MU in any way. It was the main idea behind our first PR about MU, to
not defend them. Their business model was awful, as long as they didn't
respect removal requests (by current legislation). And this campaign would
apply to any other cloud provider.
