That's another reason why sometimes people better be careful what they wish for, it's only a matter of time before some law/bill gets passed and destroys Net neutrality and with it most of our livelihoods

I disagree...
I think most people would steal a CD or DVD from a store if there was effectively zero chance of getting busted for doing so. That applies to theft of money, rape, murder anything really.
Perfect example, last year in the UK a bank had a
faulty cash machine that was paying out double the amount entered. Within hours there where long queues of 100s of people withdrawing as much money as possible, that's theft but once people get it into their heads they can get something for free & get away with it! - good luck changing that mentality!

I do agree that not enough was done when the problem first emerged, too little too late now sadly
