The problem is that it's not the people asking for this. That's why people are protesting SOPA/PIPA/ACTA. That's why people in several European countries took to the streets protesting their government's involvement in ACTA. Even worse, ACTA was drafted in secret, away from the people the agreement is going to affect. When the special interests in RIAA and MPAA and the like have the power to bring governments together to draft a treaty in secret, you can't be surprised when the people take to the streets, and I'm of the opinion that you can't morally defend ACTA unless you had a hand in crafting it, or got paid by someone who did.
