That's a nice sound bite, but "piracy" means "copying things". I've yet to see a plan that both prevents people from copying things and preserves liberty.

- runamok 15y agoSeems like there might be a way to do so that preserves due process, has the burden of proof on the accuser and has penalties for abuses. As far as I can tell DMCA takedown notices work fairly well in most cases. The main issue is that the US doesn't have international juridiction and they don't like that very much. The US puts a lot of pressure on foreign governments to enforce our laws (I believe wikileaks recently leaked how the US influenced a SOPA-like law in Spain.)
