content: It is like the "patriot" act; the purpose has nothing to do with piracy, it has to do with giving the government and our rulers more power. They want to outlaw privacy and the framework for privacy on the internet doesn't exist yet, and so they can sidestep the 4th amendment as long as the plebs do not use encryption. whenever you see piracy, terrorism, child porn, etc. as the reason for something the government is doing you know that the real reason is to erode our rights.
