You are making an amazing assumption: that the people that are opposed to DMCA are the same people that pirate. There probably is some overlap, but not much. What the pirates do was already illegal even before DMCA, so DMCA doesn't effect them much.

I would contend that very few people who pirate things on a regular basis really care about this law. Oh, we have our opinions on it, we don't think it's right, etc., etc.

But the truth is that we really don't care. It makes the things we do, which are illegal, illegal. So what. It won't change the legality of what we do at all.

What it will do instead is remove rights from people who do care about the law. They then can either choose to become a criminal and continue to do the same things, or they can choose to stop. Please, don't let people fool you into thinking this is about piracy, because it isn't. It's about taking your rights away.

If you believe that those rights are undeserved and should be taken away, then by all means, support the DMCA.
