Yes Paul, that's the answer (looks around for Sleazy) IDIOT.
Laws don't make problems go away, they deter reasonable people from committing crimes using penalties as a consequence. We call the ones they don't deter criminals.
Like most areas, Copyright doesn't need new laws, it needs enforcement of the existing laws. But that isn't sexy or headline grabbing so politicians prefer new laws so they can make speeches and garner attention.
What we don't want is laws that task enforcement of the law to companies instead of law enforcement. That is when you see a total loss of control and reason.
Laws that remove the courts and Law Enforcement agencies from the process are bad laws.
