I’m American and know of TPB, doesn’t mean I know who its founders are! The lawsuits were never particularly big news in my experience. I honestly don’t even specifically know what or when TPB was in active legal hot water nor do I have any idea on outcome. I have a vague idea that it probably happened at some point but only because I know that TPB enabled piracy. I remember more specifically individuals getting in trouble for using TPB than anyone creating TPB getting in trouble.
I’ve also heard of Pinterest for example but barely know the product and definitely don’t know the founders.
What’s more, you’re committing the same perspective but just at a slightly different scale. What I said originally about fractured internet experiences is also totally true if you restrict to American users! Plenty of American users of the internet are highly frequently so but don’t pirate, for example!
