Go back and read my post again. It's about implications of people's views. This is precisely what I mean about this being the argument in the first place
You are insisting on viewing everything through a black and white moral filter which doesn't allow for the actual situation or people to form reasonable policies. The music industry is poised to do a lot of damage to our entire economy, including the creative media industries, and you're simply nodding in time with them.
This view is far from ludicrous - it's also being pushed by much of the games industry, ISP's and the rest of the telecoms industries, consumer rights groups, several political parties in Europe, various respected writers on copyright issues, GCHQ*...
(*Because it'll get more people to encrypt everything they do on the web and thus handicap them, but they're still for a practical view)
