This is inimical to the purpose of the Internet.
Maybe the dream of knowledge being free and open was always doomed to fail; if knowledge has value, and people are encouraged to spend more of their time and energy to create it rather than other kinds of work, they will have to be compensated in order to do it increasingly well.
It's kinda sad though, if you grew up in a world where you could actually discover stuff organically and through search.

In several EU countries it's illegal to have any internet connection without linking it to your ID card or passport in some central database, so that could also be thing - people are generally reluctant to get arrested.
