You now have the laws or leeway within the current laws to jail people who download, copy, bypass, or do anything the ruleing corparte majority says you can't do. If not just for personal use, or to bypass a crappy system that only tries to protect something and in doing do makes the end product hard to use if not unuseable with it enabled. It's like the so called "Missle Shield" that has been in development since the early to late 70's. Sure you can make a copy protection\missle defence system thats unbreakable\inpenteratable today and maybe next week\year, but thats if you put hundreds of millions\billions(trillions?) of dollars into it and then pass that cost down to the consumer\taxpayer. Eventurtaly someone breaks it(quickly)\builds a better missle to pass through it and you have to start from scrach again to defend against that form of attack. And now we the US who signed a Treaty to limit this oneupmanship some time ago limiting both sides to one(or two?)sites to protect with an early system that used nukes to stop nukes(hell of a way to stop fallout a major killer after a bomb when your making it to defend against the bombs). It also halted any development of new systems. But now our current goverment is openly breaking this treaty to make it to try to make everyone feel safe, just like the first and second systems did. Its only a political, not really a millitary prioraty to have such a system. It does make the military have lots of funding in the years without the Cold War, or any really big war to fight. So too the battle over media rights and downloading for personal use. Its the violation of the freedoms we have frought for and have made such systems in good faith to defend it phyically from abroad, now we face it legally\politically from within.
Like some have said the new laws and loosing of laws make the "criminal" population rise within already crowded jails. Some of the wasted space is the so called "Death Row" which in most cases you die from old age or natural causes before you face the few forms of excution still legal/avaible to the few states that say they still have the Death penataly. It would be an idea to do a Hollywood and setup an island dention facilty. "No fences, no guard towers, no cells" or so it was quoted in a movie or two. A place where you don't want out because its worse outside the island than within. Or something like that.
