Media will take an angle on anything. But so will ISPs and in their tricky negotiations with various parties about copyrights without making blunders they will be sued for, and passing on unnecessary legal expenses? A good law would pave a path to economic prosperity. This hampers economic progress and cements a stupid set of relationships into fact.
There is no reason to incriminate the curious.
A better arrangement is for the government to publish a list of IPs to exclude and ISPs simply to filter them. Now the copyright can be protected without costing everyone an arm, a leg and their freedom for being curious.
Why hide all this content, anyway? Educational documentaries for example should be free of restrictive copyright. We do not have to make a buck of everything, but we should respect Artist's copyright independent of corporate lawyers. Distribution was always expensive and now it is not. A legal framework for protecting our artists is necessary.
But bad laws will only kill innovation.
