> Obviously, the video is over-the-top. Nothing exactly like the incident depicted has happened in real life. The US government doesn't subject copyright defendants to the same harsh treatment as suspected terrorists. But after the commando-style raid on Kim Dotcom's mansion in January, it may be close enough to the truth to make effective propaganda.
There isn't a single helicopter or dog in the entire video.
Before 2001 there where no concentration camps in the US, now there is Guantanamo bay, also terrorism was way lower in 2001 than it was in the 70's/80's (look at Italy, France, UK).
There where no official State-planned torture (only rogue soldiers in war) now there are "procedures".
The idea is two stepped: 1) "everything is acceptable under terrorism" 2) "we can bring links to terrorism to some other matters".
For now I think linking copyright infringement to terrorism is not effective (it's been pushed for a few years), but that might change.
From the website promoting the video (http://www.political-prostitution.com/):
"Kim Dotcom has publicly accused Joe Biden of ordering the shutdown of his Megaupload website in coordination with Chris Dodd. As evidence, Dotcom cites the public White House visitor log which shows visits from Dodd and the CEOs of Warner Brothers, Paramount Pictures, Walt Disney and Universal Studios all on the same day in July 2011. Also visiting that day was Mike Ellis, former superintendent of the Hong Kong Police and currently an MPAA Asia division executive. The MPAA publicly denies that Ellis is a known extradition expert and has dismissed Dotcom's claims. - Source [http://betabeat.com/2012/07/mpaa-kim-dotcom-joe-biden-chris-...] "
I actually pointed this out myself: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4355658
I was expect a hard hitting short video showing the facts about the effects of hollywood lobbying on US law as well as the greater effects of its implementation on countries abroad.
Instead we get a video that made me laugh at the ridiculousness scenario someone dreamed up.

You can see the video in that article too.
