    They will ether slip through something similar without anyone noticing or go back to the tried and tested, Piracy funds terrorism / harms children line.
    Eventually I can see things moving towards a, this is law now, tough **** stance, there getting more and more open with the shady things they do and for the most part most people are just meh about it.

    Yes exactly, seems any controversial or restrictive law they want passed gets this treatment.

    It would be nice to have a system based on realistic enforcement and fairness for all rather than one which appears to favour only the greed of the makers/distributors and the pockets of their lawyers/politicians to enforce it.

    Wait, arent politicians supposed to act for the people?

    Representatives seem to only have been concerned with representing their financiers/friends for the last few decades.
