I agree with you but the problem is that their product is like vapor and to controll it you have to be very controlling. It's like if you want to have 0 murders i a country you have to do more damage than the murders would have caused.

In France they are talking about installing monitoring software on all computers so you can't share copyrighted material and tree strikes law. In Sweden the copyright owner can do private policing.
I don't like analogies but this one is funny imo. Let's say that I'm a comedian and you tell a joke that you heard me tell at a show you went to. I could argue that I'm losing money when you tell my jokes. And if your friend finds my jokes funny then he actually wants to consume my jokes and I should have the right to get payed. So I want to bug every person in the world so I'm shure of that no one tells my jokes without me getting payed.
