That's assuming that the only potential issue you care about is tampering though
What else would I care for? We're talking about piracy, so I wouldn't turn the choice of a server location into a human rights debate.
What kind of logic is that? It is perfectly reasonable to care about human rights and totalitarianism but not for copyrights. In fact it seems a bit questionable that you would use the speeding ticket of online rule violations as an excuse to completely discard any other moral considerations.
Ultimately it's your choice of course, but still. Questionable reasoning
(I am not the person you replied to)
The problem with this argument is that you are ruling out entire countries for the acts of corrupt governments. Thing is there is no such thing as a clean government. Everybody has skeletons in their closet.
