It's a double edged sword.

And sure, if it was kept specifically to a certain copyright use it would be fine. But you would have to be extremely naive to believe it would be kept to that strict use.

Once you start censoring even a small gap in the market, it only grows from there.

It's a trojan horse, and if anyone who is familiar with the US GOV tactics, you ought to damn well know they are already planning other tactical uses.
