Because there has to be a WAR on customers, right alongside the war on drugs, they have to have ever more restrictive DRM and ever more limits on what they can do with the content they've merely licensed for ever higher prices!

Oh grow up. Treating the customer as the enemy is precisely why the dark nets got off the ground in the first place, and your attitude will drive people who would otherwise have paid to them.
The
correct term is copyright infringement, and you are simply handing the darknet communities a tool to use against reasonable businesses with that sort of histrionic over reaction (Communists lol).
All "clamping down" will do - since it'll be spectacularly ineffective - is ensure that in 20
years time there WILL be a private copy exemption.
(oh and hint: I know some real communists, unlike you. They live in Israel, in little communist societies, and are quite nice people. I decided it wasn't for me, but they're quite entitled to live as they want, and the Kibbutzim act as small umbrella companies in Israel's perfectly capitalist economy. And they have a more respectful attitude towards IP than many capitalists I know.)
