From the article: <i>Conviction rates for espionage or sedition would be low. Embarrassingly low. However, convictions for possession of marijuana and copyright infringement would skyrocket.</i><p>And here we finally get to why a huge frickin, ritalin-infused dragnet with snakes for teeth and a laser strapped to its head will get lobbied into further existence. Legacy gatekeeper media needs deep packet inspection of <i>every single packet</i> to decide if "IP" "theft" is taking place. Getting such inspection funded by taxpayers means that "Rightsholders" don't have to pay much. Having a legal basis in place for such inspection decreases the "Rightsholder's" legal costs when the time comes to give us all 3 strikes or 6 strikes or whatever.
