By that logic, why have copyright laws at all. Copyright laws exist to protect content producers (actually distributors) from the harmful (to content distributors) actions of other members of society. If you are going to legislate to protect content distributors, why not legislate to protect content consumers as well.

Conversely, if you dont want to legislate to protect content consumers, why legislate to protect content distributors.
