I dont write laws and I agree its not simple but one thing for sure stealing digital goods is something we need to start looking at as if its real goods, this is going to stop not because some pornmasters want it to stop lol but rather its destroying entire industries.
1. fair use economy is 1/6th of the US economy. People for example were hired to write and support the software that REAL is selling. All those people are going to be put out of work if this ruling stands.

2. that exactly the position that MPAA had with the vcr, until they realized that by actually exploiting the technology they could make way more money. The government didn't stop vcr.

The economic losses caused by what you want to do would do way more damage to the economy then what would be saved.

"making it a criminal offense to be in possession of stolen digital goods" would destroy all those fair use business putting all those people out of work.
