You are using words like "blatantly", "profiteering" and lump all of HN together, saying that all of HN supports MU and its bosses and that you don't understand this at all.
This smells all too much of a biased statement without any depth in order to influence the public opinion of MU negatively. But I'll bite anyway.

The thing is that you are missing the point completely:
Copyright infringement on MU was apparently only committed by third parties (aka The Internet), as is done on sites like YouTube, every other file sharing site, video, audio and similar sites.
Yet you don't see the Google bosses in jail and their houses raided and assets frozen do you? They are blatantly profiteering off of copyright infringing materials on YouTube as well, you know.
The DMCA regulates what these services have to do to protect copyrights and them selves. MU apparently did just that.
One other point I will make here is that studies have shown that pirating on the internet has no negative effect on the profits of the copyright holders. Explain to me why pirates are being hunted like the worst offenders anyway.
Now, do you still not understand why some people here seem to have a different stance on this topic than you?
