Poorly thought out things with good intentions do not equal death needing.
I see no good intentions at all here. Piracy is a corporate problem, not governmental. They need to either deal with it themselves or shut up about it, the government will only add more red tape to this and not stop anyone except the casual pirates leftover post-Limewire.

Even with piracy nowadays, corporations earn more than my family would earn in a lifetime in a day. This is including the people who have been dead for at most 30 years.

I do not see anything there saying the intentions are bad. Just the implementation.

Yes. That is a good comparison because a corporation has the same expenses and economic impact as four people.

I'm talking about everybody related to me. Even with corporate expenses the corporation would earn more.

Yeah. I got no idea what you are talking about anymore. If you are talking about people closely related to you, then the corporation is still much much larger. If you are talking about literally everyone you are wrong.

Stopping piracy is stupid. And an evil idea : it require filtering every communication.  Intellectual property is a scam.

But almost everyone know this, this is just an excuse to make you pay even more for , well, nothing, and to restrict your freedom.
Solution? check everyone who voted in favor of this law, make a black list and penalize them as much as you can politically.
Find anyone who supported this, and boycott them. They want to screw with you? Screw with them!
