> Look at it, it is Nazi in its self. Do and think as you are told.
Wow, what a silly take on it. The law's admonition is to not make a genocide out of a molehill. If that's Nazi and conformist, so is telling children not to fucking cry wolf. Nazis were bad, we get it. Not every policy you dislike can usefully be equated with the murder of millions of Jews and the subjugation of the European continent.
Particularly, this case of a prosecutor prosecuting someone under a lawfully passed rule bears scarcely more relation to the Nazis than to unicorns. That is why people bring it up when people Godwin a thread.
And, to be clear, no one here is telling anyone to stop talking about whether this was a prosecutorial abuse, or whether the law should be changed, or whether the situation was just.

There is a distinctly "just following orders" vibe to the argument that a prosecutor is right to prosecute someone completely regardless of any proportionality of the penalties to the alleged acts of the accused, just because the law allows it.
I don't think many of the pro-prosecution folks are arguing that she's right to prosecute solely because she can according to the law. That is just one factor, at least for me. I can also see several good arguments for the law's existence, and the way I model the prosecutor's mind, she can too and views this prosecution as necessary to uphold the rights of content owners.
