We are conservatives. The use of the internet is not a right, nor is there any privacy on the internet. This is a solution that effectively punishes the guilty, acts as a deterent, protects peoples intellectual property in one of the few ways that might actually work.
At least the damn liberals will have to start paying for their Dixie Chicks and Black Eyed Peas.
—protects peoples intellectual property—
Nonsense. If someone wants to share a song from a CD he legall purchased, there is nothing wrong with that. Downloading an mp3 for free is not theft, as the mp3 file has no corporeal existence. Unless you are worried that Britney Spears may have to purchase her blond hair dye off the shelf.
Speak for yourself. Being a conservative, I have an expectation of privacy on the internet.
