I think the EFF is making a good argument here, but I'm wondering whether it really addresses the point at issue. The key sentence is the following: > The domain seizure debacle, ... depend on (a) the traditional entertainment industry's yowling wail that "piracy" on the the Internet is injuring the livelihoods of artists and (b) the US government's chronically uncritical acceptance of those complaints. Do they? Is the US govt. doing what it does based primarily on the belief that, in doing so, it is helping artists? Frankly, I doubt it. When Congress passes some draconian copyright law, I imagine they are thinking about industry campaign contributions, not helping struggling artists. If I'm right, then the EFF's argument makes us all feel good, but doesn't actually help anyone. Of course, I could be wrong. Any thoughts?
