And against innocent people wrongfully accused to be pirate who would be most of what they catch since the real pirates know how to avoid detection.

The only way to make sure to never appear on the enemy radar screen would be to discontinue your IP provider subscription.

I think they mean ‘changing copyright law to combat copyright infringement’.

The easiest way of doing that is to abolish copyright, not to criminalise citizens who fail to respect the corporation’s privilege over them.

There are various approaches to abolishing copyright:
1) Enact such draconian enforcement that you foment a rebellion.
2) Provide a more lucrative alternative.
3) Help people understand why the privilege of a reproduction monopoly is unethical and should be abolished.

The corporations are doing an excellent job on the first approach, however it’s a rather inhumane one, and their objective is to obtain control of the Internet (not simply to prevent ‘counterfeiting’ or file-sharing).

I and others are working on the second, more humane approach, developing revenue mechanisms that operate without copyright. However, it’s not easy homesteading an alien and unpopulated territory that most people believe to be an inhospitable wilderness existing beyond the edge of the world (as Jon appreciates only too well).

Not many are engaged in the third approach. QuestionCopyright.org and AgainstMonopoly.org are a couple that spring to mind. Perversely, the Pirate Party still supports copyright, but if the corporations keep it up (via ACTA, etc.) then even the Pirate Party might realise that principle should come before popularity.

Cheers!
