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.

Yes, action should be taken to prevent copyright infringement; that's not at issue.
The problem at hand is that the amount of effort that is being expended by the media corporations and their lobbyists is not only out of proportion to the harm generated by casual copyright infringement, but often causes more damage to paying customers and the economy as a whole than the infringement they're trying to stop.
