In the alternative universe Damian lives in, the laws have had no or limited effect on stopping piracy. So putting up stronger laws is pointless.

In the real world where the rest of us live we can see the fear from pirates of these laws coming into being. So are they scared of laws that will have more effect, less effect or make no difference?

Common sense answers only.

In the real world we see many companies going after the pirates in a big way. And winning time and time again.

Internet piracy cases. Just one 2 minute look at Google shows a few of the successes. Increasing laws and penalties will have more effects on pirates. Which is why Damian, GG and others are worried.

The pirates like the ability to share others work for free or even to profit from it. And clearly hate the idea of anything to stop them. They lie to make their cases sound sensible.

A clear lie, proven to be a lie.

They haven't worked well enough. Does not mean they haven't worked. Well not in the real world.
