I suppose I am just stupid, but I can't take this whole thing seriously. These draconian measures are just going to make everyone engage in criminal activity, like prohibition. I expect most people will just get used to "stealing" if staying on the good side of the law is just too oppressive.
As someone who is hopefully going to be selling a book here soon (proceeds to charity), it is somewhat depressing, since it would be nice to see if people would pay for it, but I do understand how this happens. You can't fight common sense with nonsense, at least not for very long, and you can't make your public your enemy.
