Let's face it ...

USA is, if not the biggest, one of the biggest Internet users in the world. If something is approved here, will have a cascade effect.

That regulations is all about money, not the users. There are other ways to fight aganist piracy. And no matter what, will be there. It is virtually impossible to stop online piracy. Every new attempt to block it will result in different approaches to overcome the patch.

All this makes me think in that woman here in USA that had to pay several millions of dollars (or at least was sued) because she download couple of mp3 songs from an illegal site.

Do they really think that a medium class woman will have resources to pay such ridiculous demand? How many thousands the records companies spent just prosecuting her? And I'm almost sure the site is still online or renamed.
