Suppose that you genuinely believe that the majority of HN users suffer from "situational ethics" regarding copyright that work in their favor rather than according to any particular principle. It would remain entirely irrelevant to a discussion about a third party. Absolute best case scenario it's a red herring.

That said the comment you replied to doesn't even seem to make sense in the first place. What does "violation of copyright for financial gain" (alleged, controversial) have to do with "complaining about the specifics of a court order"?
