So saying the law has no impact on piracy is ridiculous.
If there were no war on drugs then I would have 50 pot plants in my front yard
and 50 coca plants in the back yard.

Damian will never accept that. He thinks that no laws or regulations on piracy means no more will be doing it than do it today. He also thinks that increasing the laws will have no effect on piracy. Taking down sites that have mad a living from piracy will just carry on.
Of course he lives in a dream world. With no fight against piracy anyone can do it. Those doing it today will increase. We will all live in hope VISA won't turn a blind eye to people stealing content and creating a paysite, or charging people to download it via Paypal. Whoops that happens already.
And taking down these sites, might mean huge problems with Paypal getting loads of complaints from angry people who just saw their downloads they paid for gone. Or advertisers thinking an advert on a site that will disappear soon isn't a good way to market.
The increase of laws against piracy will have more effect, not less. It will mean less money in the pockets of pirates.
And that is the freedom I think some are trying to protect. Their freedom to make money from theft.
