I think it might have something to do with pirated films and music, and I suppose books and even blog posts. In some countries, such as the UK, the government is empowered to prosecute copyright infringers on behalf of copyright holders. If someone downloaded 1000 movies from a torrent site, the government could fine that person tens of thousand of pounds, the cost of buying each film, and give that money to the film distributors/owners. In the US, copyright holders have to pursue their own cases of infringement one by one. And most websites that host the pirated films are immune from prosecution under the digital act Clinton signed. I can see where the Democrat’s major patrons in entertainment would love to be able to use the government to enforce copyrights for them. Government has abilities such as the use of force, ability to obtain warrants and wiretaps, etc that copyright holders don’t have.
