This is really no different from the day of VCRs, CDs, Mp3 and on and on.....as technology moves forward things such as this will be harder to police. If those industries want to police it via lawsuits, fine. But it's not the job of the government to do it for them.
One of the points of SOPA/PIPA (which has since been taken out of the proposed bills, but is an example of Washington not understanding what they're trying to regulate) is the Domain Name blocking. Anyone who is a member of BitTorrents, Limewire, Kazaa (or was a member of Napster) knows that switching DNS addresses is easy and virtually impossible to block. As soon as one address is blocked, you just pick up another and you're right back to sharing your illegal audio/video/application files.
That is rich.... you trying to educate people about DNS Servers and saying people learned it from piracy...... You know some of us actually know about networking and don't resort to stealing to learn about it.
I can certainly see where some Occupiers get their material......... Still think a lot of them are misguided.... Follow the money and see what laws get established. We are in a war! They want to censor, detain, and starve those who do not obey. If they control it all then they win.
For those interested, a look at the results of the "Internet strike" against SOPA: http://www.sopastrike.com/numbers
That's the results in numbers... Here's the results in effect: Congress withdraws SOPA, PIPA anti-piracy measures
