The line in support of ACTA and SOPA has always been this: the Internet has a piracy problem. We're just trying to fix it. If you don't like our method, why don't you suggest an alternative?
I have a huge problem with that. Copyright infringement is already illegal. We already have the DMCA to enforce it. If ACTA and something like SOPA pass and piracy continues, then what? The problem hasn't gone anywhere, and the same people will be back with an even harsher "solution" and the same old argument. This argument, extrapolated, is a never-ending death spiral into Internet totalitarianism.
