Well it's pointless anyway, because none of us have the sort of money it would take to bribe governments to pass such laws, and the people who do have the money won't take any notice of people on an internet forum because they will only be concerned with their own needs.
The way I see it, we already have the power to have files (or search results) removed from the internet. All of the corporations who profit from unauthorised downloads or people searching for them remove content on request, you don't even need a court order. You could probably automate it if you were reasonably technical, or you can pay other companies to do it for you if you don't have the time.
Seems more logical than punishing the people who
do want their stuff on pirate sites, or don't care either way.
