Numerous, good arguments have been made that these are not (at least and particularly with respect to the Internet) really "piracy" bills. They are censorship bills.
I would prefer to see that reflected in e.g. news headlines. Start calling them "censorship" bills, and the stories might get a bit more attention. And outrage.
P.S. I'm not criticizing this HN post's title: Policy is to cite the article's title. Rather, an observation on all the use of "piracy" terminology surrounding this. (In good part defined by the selection of the title/name for H.R. 3261 -- nice trick, that.)
