Nothing wrong with wanting to make money. "Wanting to make money" is what drives progress.
The problems is "aggression". "Wanting to make money and using the force of the state to help you make money" = an act of aggression and unethical.

No conspiracy at all... That how politicians work... If they can do something that will gain them votes (power, influence, money), they will do it, no matter what the consequences will be for some small minority (us).

This is the point you dodge, because you know you have no answers and you know you will never produce a sensible one. The US Government can only pass a law affecting US Citizens. It can't force Canadian Citizens to shut down their websites. Or German Citizens, or Romanian or whatever.

It's already doing just that. It's shutting down Canadian pharmacy websites that are hosted in Canada, run by Canadians and legal in Canada.
