Well PIRATE Act has got past the US Senate. Senator Hatch is backing the legislation and hoping for tens of thousands of enforcement actions by the department of justice (DOJ) on behalf of the entertainment industries. Yes the PIRATE act requires the DOJ and (not the entertainment industry) to spend money on investigators and lawyers to go after those diseased children with copyright infringing tendencies, who Senator Hatch will simultaneously protect with his INDUCE act. The leaps of logic here, if it were possible to produce a physical manifestation of them, would be worthy of a world class gymnast.

Senator Hatch has come a long way since Larry Lessig proclaimed him as someone who understood.
