That’s always puzzled me as well.

Personally, I’m always curious about why people who don’t like p2pnet always keep coming back.

Should it be surprising that a site which specializes in mocking the copyright enforcers is likely to get some mimickery returned back?
This could explain why there are zero posts (remaining) here, while Torrentfreak’s comment section on this topic is half a dozen pages long. http://torrentfreak.com/ex-mpaa-and-ifpi-anti-piracy-enforcer-shot-dead-081105/

Writing unflatteringly about dead people is a lot safer than living people, as they can’t sue for libel from the grave. This might be why Wikipedia has a much lower standard for biographies of dead people than they do for living people.

OK, back on topic,. It’s unlikely that this operation was any kind of payback from the DVD bootleggers that form a major business in that part of the world. It’s no secret that the police there are corrupt, and it’s only those pirate operations who refuse to pay the required bribes that might actually get shut down. Most of the time, it’s all just a show to keep Hollywood happy. The people busted then get released and go right back work at another stamping plant, with the police turning a blind eye once again, until it’s time for another temporary show of force.

The professional bootleggers know full well that there would be a major crackdown against their business if they ever ordered a hit on a cop, so it’s unlikely they’d be involved in this murder in any way. That’s just good business sense, and that’s also why the police don’t have copyright infringers (and victims of past enforcement) high on their list of suspects.

“We are focusing our investigations on jealousy and personal issues” probably means police suspect the guy might have been fooling around with someone’s wife. That’s how a lot of people end up getting killed, including policemen.
