Regardless of what the music and movie industries could abuse. Something has to be done to curb piracy. Again as long as there are firm rules against abuse from the corporations, I am all for it.

Why must something be done?
Why is it you place more tools supposedly intended for stopping copyright infringement over abuses of the system?
There are already laws, those laws are already abused.
What exactly makes those abuses worthwhile to the people of the world? Is not the public interest served with the free and open exchange of ideas and the risk that some people might get away with a few mp3s they may or may not have paid for in the same way that we have justice system that says it is better for a guilty person to avoid punishment than to convict an innocent?
There's my argument. better for the common people to not be censored. Now what's yours for a law that will almost certainly be abused based on the number of documented DMCA abuses that have not only happened but gone unpunished?
