Further to Jimbo's championing O'Dwyer, here is the court document from O'Dwyer's January extradition trial: http://www.europeanrights.eu/public/sentenze/WMC13gen2012.pdf Some quotes: ---o0o--- O’Dwyer did not charge users of TVShack.net to download or stream content. Instead he earned money from hosting advertisements on various portions of the TVShack.net website. [...] According to Alexa.com, an organisation that ranks website popularity based on frequency of visits, as of on or about June 28, 2010, TVShack.net was the 1779th most popular website in the world and the 1419th in the United States”. Following seizure of the original domain name on 29th June 2010 “within one day O’Dwyer and one of his co conspirators… registered a new domain name, TVShack.net to TVShack.cc which was hosted on a server located at an ISP either in Germany or the Netherlands. [...] TVShack.cc continued to offer copyrighted movies and television programs under the new domain name without authorisation from the copyright holders… Also posted on the homepage of this new website was the photograph of a rap music group and the title of one of their songs “F*ck the Police”. In interview, relied on in the U.S. Request, he is said to have accepted owning TVShack.net and TVShack.cc “earning approximately £15,000 per month” from online advertisements hosted on those sites. [...] [The US prosecutor argued] there was no attempt to protect copyright, he, Richard O’Dwyer, knew materials were subject to copyright and actively taunted already cited efforts in June 2010 to seize TVShack.net. ---o0o--- So Jimbo is saying that a chap who, according to statements in this court document, made well over 20,000 advertising dollars a month from copyright infringement (under the motto "fuck the police") reminds him "of many great Internet entrepreneurs". It looks like these – rather than NPOV – are the values that Wikipedia has been co-opted to support.
