That's why fascism didn't last, although there are certainly a number of people who claim to want to bring it back. But they wouldn't like it if they were on the other end of it.

if some books/movies/games being "stolen" are the price for having a free and open internet, then let the piracy commence. sorry, getting rid of piracy isn't worth the price of a government stamping down on freedom and tracking users internet activity, illegal warrants or cable companies throttling internet speed at the behest of hollywood.
