And before any one advocates it's the "big bosses" protecting what's theirs. Or any similar BS. Think deeper.
One examples apples to many 100s.
Bill Gates amassed a fortune. I read just a moment ago it was $42000000000.000. $42 billion for those who can't count the zeros.
Let's assume for every 2 cents he added to his wealth 98 were spent on Microsoft products. So take $42 billion and multiply it be 49. That's the money that Microsoft generated. Money that employed board members, who owned houses that had to be built, cars that had to be made and toilets that were cleaned by staff.
Microsoft employs 1,000s of people that spend money in their community. Even the guy who cleans the toilets in Microsoft's offices earns money and spend it locally. Even shops selling the Microsoft products employ people, who earn money from sales and spend it again in other shops.
These are huge businesses, some of the few left in the West, and harming them will have huge harmful repercussions.
So as those who think this is a bad law tap away from home. They need to think who they work for, who puts food on their table. The pirates or the big bosses.
Hard concept for those who are one man bands, scraping a living. When you used to employ 8 people. It gets easier to comprehend.
To bring down the laws on copyright would be the most disastrous thing ever. It would mean a guy working out of his flat in Brighton or Moscow, could take someone else's hard work and make money on it. A lot less money than it would of generated and though he will get a return others will get fired.
No system has ever flourished by getting rid of big business and the big bosses. most of the time it ended up with everyone being poorer.
