Sorry Peter
This is not about theft but censorship creeping in on the back of one political football. It is not the governments job to spy on and decide what content we have access too. Private company's need to go after people who steal there property directly through the legal system as any private citizen.
The fact we are now giving big corporate special privilege through government legislation only reveals who our government is really working for. Big business hates the internet because the little guy can compete equally on the same platform. They seek to make websites a privilege that has to be leased through them and so convoluted with legislation that a private citizens site can be removed without a legal process. The long term goal as always is a monopoly and shutting down true free trade even of ideas and speech.
