This guy sounds like a hateful dick, but I cannot fathom how it is even remotely correct to arrest or sentence him to jail time for simply being a dick.

Plus, as was said in another comment, he did this before the pro\eposterous law was instated that made viewing or sharing the video illegal.

There seems to be a worldwide trend of abusing the law horribly for political gain.

The worst part is the NZ/AU reaction to the whole thing seems to have been spring-loaded, like they were just waiting for some big bad event so they could clamp down on every media outlet and avenue of expression.

Yes, and worse still, the worldwide msm doesn't make any noise about it whatsoever. Like Thoughtcrimes and Lookcrimes are now perfectly normal things to criminalize officially now.
