No one is "against protecting their rights", and none of these bills actually
go after those Pirates. They just want to control or shut down any site
that they do not own. (Can I make it any simpler??)
Maybe political speech is new to you? A bill titled "To improve the education
of our children" actually means "A bill to payoff the teacher's union". A bill to
"help the poor" actually means "A bill to provide funding to more social workers
and mostly those at the highest administrative level and/or the collage professors
advising them". Little if any of the funding actually gets into the hands of any poor
person.
Just because a bill claims to be for protecting "Intellectual Property Rights"
means nothing, look at what the bill actually puts in place and authorizes the
bureaucrats to do.
