and your not getting it
NO THEY WONT
every technological shift that has radically expanded the income capacity was CALLED piracy
the printing press
cable television
vcr
mp3
cd/dvd burners
and now torrents
politicians can't create the laws you want them too, because the only way to stop torrents is to make laws so draconian that the general public will revolt against them.
the very people the politicians are counting on to re-elect them are the very people would vote against them for supporting those draconion bills

Following the conviction of the ?four? in 2009, the Pirate Party received 7.1% of the vote in the European Parliament elections, receiving more votes from those under 30 than any other party in Sweden

you may want to claim that they are just free loader but i suspect that a large portion of those voters are actually voting the party because they don't like the fact that the pirate bay got convicted of facilating copyright infringement without any proof what so ever that they were involved in the transaction (because the idiot cops turned on DHT and use a client that would do local peer discovery first).
either way, a politician who voted for that stupid bill lost his job.
