The MPAA and RIAA are simply trying to use government to protect their failed business model. Not much different than the bankers really. Imagine if we had this level of government interference back in the early 20th century. We'd have outlawed the gasoline engine to protect the horse and buggy industry.
Of course, even if this passes, people will still find ways to "pirate" music and movies. Fighting against changing technology will simply impoverish us further.
