The copyright industries' efforts are both strategic and clueless / misguided at the same time. The very attempt at hedging their obsolete business model instead of adapting to a new situation will be their undoing, as has been the case with many other obsolete business model before.
I don‘t find the fact that they were able to convince politicians to aid them in this to be particularly surprising. After all, good PR is an essential part of their business model. Additionally, heir products also tend to have a certain emotional appeal.
