The other thing you need to realise that piracy has always been around, before the current financial incentives. Usenet was THE place for piracy. Did they get paid? No. Did the up loaders get paid? No. Were there advertisers? No. Was there a gajillion gigaflops if stolen content? Yes.
If this law passed in its current iteration it will not stop piracy. I promise you. You will not go back to getting a billion dollars a month to spend on coke.

And you need to stop your silly scaremongering about "breaking the internet".
And I dont really care if you have a link where someone says some problems might ensue. That is not "proof" that one day we will turn on our computers and the internet will be gone in a puff of smoke, "broken" by a law designed to reinforce the basic laws of property and ownership.
The easy porn money is probably gone for good, but that does not mean that adult industry peeps cannot support a law which aims to protect the creator of intellectual property from having it stolen.
