Its just as logical!
The list on this site is HUGE! That alone would make me irate. How can the gov't tell you what to listen to and what not to!

Eventually the great "pole shift" in law enforcement will happen .
Everything will be made illegal. Then law enforcement, on a cases by case basis will simply decide whether or not to throw you in jail.

Why on earth do people assume other's creative work is theirs also? What applies to the "entertainment industry" applies to individuals also. You wouldn't shoplift but cyber shoplifting is totally ok is it?
The only valid arguement I could find in the original post was the level on which privacy would be upheld online. That's a discussion worth having but if people are gonna go up in arms cause they can't steal anything they like then that is a big problem right there.

Don't worry about any of this new law they're bringing out - there is no way of implementing it.

An economy where hundred of thousands if not millions are employed in recording, analyzing, documenting, filing reports, on everyone else -and then arresting prosecuting, incarcerating everybody - doesn't work.
Security, legal system, and prison facilities already drain the economy. They want less, not more.
