The piracy issue is very similar to the recent Internet censorship we've seen. A very similar thing happened to the PirateBay (and it still happens to this day), who were persecuted off the internet initially by corporations leveraging politicians to push a website offline that was legal in their home country. Now I'm not saying it's completely the same, but often it seems like the piracy takedowns set up the playbook to censoring things that often affect lots of peoples' lives. I'm very vary of corporate censorship since it's an easy next step for politics and the government to start wielding it against the people. And that could be disastrous.
