Making new laws not making any changes in this particular case. First of all most of the users are stupid enough to think that that's it no more file sharing and even afraid to install torrent client or whatever, and this entirely idiotic because many big software development firms and recording studios redistribute their digital content exactly via p2p. Law doesn't say that you are not allowed to install torrent, emule or any other crap for p2p, law is "against file-sharers who violate copyright laws", so as long as you don't do stupid things, you are fine. But governors forgot that they need to explain simple things to end users. Second, does anyone really think that this law will work? It is the same showoff as this Digital Millennium Act. p2p are mature enough to provide unrestricted access to digital assets without being tracked, filtered or monitored. So all this crap about making new law that won't work is just money waste.
