Copyright is acceptable- going after people through the net is not. Users have an expectation of privacy (most users think they are anonymous, and are/can be for the most part) and the law should recognize the complexity of the internet and networks because they are going on a wild goose chase anytime they go after somebody based on an IP address.
The US government even had credit card records in the largest criminal case against child porn users in the US and were unable to identify users. Of the 35,000 people who were attacked many committed suicide and a mere 100 were prosecuted. Clearly the internet does not provide enough to justify probable cause let alone evidence of a crime.
