so rather then monitizize bit torrent you advocate establishing a draconian law that would treat you like a criminal if you have a song on your ipod and don't (for example) carry around all the cd you ripped those song from.

Most porn is legal and the idea that this law will make it illegal is wrong. They tried before and they lost. Porn is protected by the First Amendment and they know they don't have a leg to stand on. Pirated porn is not protected and those that steal it can get fucked for pirating it. Also look at the number of totally legal porn businesses in the US. The Government has always had the ability to crack down on these, but lost and lost big time.

ok the government roots around your hard drive, makes a master list of all the porn you have on it. Demands that you produce proof you bought it (see public record) and you don't see how that embarressment would cause you to buy less porn.

Fucking a camel is illegal. Are you saying you should be able to break the law?

paul it has nothing to do with making something that is legal illegal, the fact is piracy is illegal now, it about taking away your right to privacy because of the possiblity that you are guilty of a crime.
