RCN is in the US. The lawsuit was filed in the US. The filmmakers behind the lawsuit appear to be based in the US. Reddit is based in the US.

Like it or not, this is a US story. There may be other, similar stories about other countries, but this one is US.

Also, if your country has less protection from political corruption than the US, you probably have bigger problems than piracy.
