Lol, I would be very surprised if 4chan has ever turned even a single cent of profit - they couldn't pay it even if they wanted to.

Regardless, they are in the right, such policing is just madness

Which fines does the UK government need to pay for the inconvenience of everyone and proposing to stop free access to internet resources?

I think it is dangerous that an embarrassment of legislation in a single nation state can have so much negative effect on people outside their jurisdiction.
