While piracy sucks... I am also against the government getting too involved with what we do online, most people do not use filesharing services to host and share illegal or copyrighted content. Me personally I use rapidshare a whole lot to distribute files to my employees all over the globe and to quickly swap files with clients, it is super handy to just upload a batch of proof images to RS or another service and provide a link.

I had some of my stuff pirated in the past, while that is really annoying I would rather go after those people myself and file DMCA orders in masse then having some authority just take away our freedom. I would rather drag someone to court myself then have it done for me. If i am slighted i can very well take care of it myself. I would also rather have people steal my stuff but keep our freedom and responsibilities to act upon that and not be told: all of this is bad you can no longer look at it/use it/make your own decisions.

Seriously who tells us what is next? Eventually it is going to be much like a witch hunt, you only make an accusation and it will be acted upon without proof, sure that is great for big companies, perfect way to shut down a smaller rivaling company after their buy offers failed... etc etc.
