Yes, but we must be careful about how we refer to Ming. Because he has been arrested by US law enforcement, he has been afforded rights counsel with amoral American defense lawyers. Those lawyers will make sure that we cannot call this obvious criminal as "a thief." We must refer to him as "an alleged thief." Therefore we must preface any "Ming the Merciless" jokes with a more legally-acceptable "Ming the ALLEGEDLY Merciless" moniker before the punchline.

For those that have read the full article at World Tech Tribune.com; the question is if Ming (the ALLEGEDLY Merciless) is just a dopey digital thief that thought he could make it back to China with valuable American intellectual property before he got caught or is he a casualty of a racist American law enforcement regime backed by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act?
