those people deserve to be punish for they tyranny.

And I think you got the Ben Franklin quote wrong.
He said: "
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety"
He also said a variation of that:
"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety"
Somehow I don't think he was talking about your freedom to see torrent sites as a "cloud backup system" for your content.
