How about they just want to stop piracy and they need some laws with teeth to do it?
Current laws are WAY more dangerous than anything passed that may put an end to you getting free movies and videos online. But no one is blacking sites out over those, making cool After Effects videos about them, having Facebook protests and so on. But take away their free shit... oh my God... it will be the end of the world!!!!!

I don't think that is the case. If someone came up with a workable way of doing it. But they don't.
In this case, the ISPs are being forced to do deep packet inspection of ALL internet traffic. And you will get your internet connection cut off on the ALLEGATION you have committed a crime. Now, aside from the basic privacy that removes, who is going to pay for the ISPs to do all this extra work? What happens when the logs get leaked? What if you have a customer that is an MP that loves shitting fetish porn? Think he would take the risk of being a customer of your site? Then you have the fact that the 3 strikes rule has been proven to be totally ineffective in the countries that have tried it.
It's a shit law that is totally unworkable and takes away basic human rights.
That's why people are annoyed, hun, not because of piracy. Because of privacy.
I bet you Paul and Robbie will love it though. Pornographers in favour of government censorship. Fucking funny.
