The only thing they care about is getting their own way.

Based on other articles I've read, it doesn't look like most of the cafes were directly involved in piracy. However, people were using their machines for that, and the IFPI nailed the cafe owners because they let people burn discs and use detachable storage devices. Nevermind the fact that any cafe that prohibited such activities would be quickly out of customers and out of business. Good job for shutting down a lot of family owned businesses. That's called progress! I’m really glad they decided to go after the real criminals, instead of spending their time and efforts on something pointless, like Brazil’s growing child prostitution.
