Thinking about it, murder is freedom for the murderer, but we all seem to agree that it's not evil to legislate against it. It seems reasonable that we legislate, at times, against freedom (in fact, that's all we really legislate against - chaos is the true freedom).
We legislate against freedom to secure something better.
Remember, when democracies came about they wanted more freedom from monarchies/dictatorships. Less laws inhibiting personal freedom was the motto (paraphrased). This whole concept of adding more and more laws on the people to "help" or "secure" the people is ridiculous.
Now suppose for a minute TPB was largely used to host torrents for child pronography files. Would everyone be leaping to their defense quite as vocally?
If it was used to hold torrents only for legal pornography would any judicial system in the world care?
