Copyright protection is a lame excuse for mass surveillance.
Child porn is a lame excuse for mass surveillance.

Do not underestimate the value of a sports program on TV to Joe Sixpack. It's what, 2 weeks of 24/7 sports? Most people I know would sign away their worldly possessions (except TV and fridge) to see that.

My fear is that it will have to get really, really bad before it can be fixed. In pre-WW2 Germany similar arguments were used and it wasn't until millions where dead that it finally ended. Although death on such a scale is unlikely here I have an uneasy feeling that it will take a huge and very damaging event with millions of innocent victims before we can recover.
