You say you're a programmer. Then get used to the idea of YOUR code that you sweat blood to produce being put onto a shared-file system for everyone else to plagirize, and get used to not getting paid for it.

Let's see. Being penniless. Or having Big Brother monitor my Internet activity. What a tough choice. Why don't you go to a tech school and ask the professors and the students what they think of anti-piracy laws, when they'll be the ones directly affected?

You think that MUSIC is the only IP that will ever be stolen?

Nope. Anime, big name software, video/computer games are the other three major offenders.

BTW, someone publicly brags about stealing doesn't HAVE any legally enforceable privacy protection anymore.

My point is that the only way you're going to find those who offended piracy laws is to track ISP activity. You really want that?

The only folks with IP rights in your ideal world will be those who simply have no qualms about extralegal retaliation against those who violate those rights.
