crimes which have a negative effect on society.
I think you're underestimating the consequences of the next Kardashian show getting canceled! lives are at stake people, this is serious business!
also, there is a lot of water between the country who's laws he broke and where the server is and where he lives. i can understand the shutdown, but the arrest is a real stretch of jurisdiction.

this, although you get the occasional odd moderation, at least moderation on this website is done by someone who has earned their position in someway or another, on Reddit its just the unwashed masses voting away at whatever they think goes against their "idea"
What? that's just rubbish, the exact same problem happens on Reddit to a much worse extent.
at least on Slashdot if you disagree with the main point for a good reason you don't get modded into oblivion. on Reddit the voting system is just to mark how interesting something is, here its used to mark how relevant and accurate something is.

Labor Senator Kate Lundy said in January 2010 that she is lobbying within the party for an "opt-out" filter, describing it as the "least worst" option.[41] In February 2010 she said she would propose the opt-out option when the filtering legislation goes before caucus.[42]
Stephen Conroy has stated that 85% of Internet Service Providers, including Telstra, Optus, iPrimus and iiNet, welcome the Internet filter.[43] In response, Steve Dalby, iiNet's chief regulatory officer, stated that iiNet as a company does not support the Internet filter, and never has.[44]
On 9 July 2010, Stephen Conroy announced that any mandatory filtering would be delayed until at least 2011.[45]
In June 2011 two Australian ISPs, Telstra and Optus, confirmed they would voluntary block access to a list of child abuse websites provided by the Australian Communications and Media Authority and more websites on a list compiled by unnamed international organizations from mid-year.[46]
